Food Safety Programmes
Food safety programmes are essential in an increasingly dynamic global business environment. In order to compete food companies need to meet increasing stringent customer and regulatory assurance requirements.
The AgriChain Centre approach to assurance is to develop solutions rooted in pragmatic and in-depth knowledge of the produce business.
The AgriChain Centre does not self certify its programmes, and so remains completely independent and impartial.
The steps in developing all assurance programmes are:
- Define the assurances required and assess what is already in place.
- Work together to design a practical assurance system to meet, maintain and verify the specifications that have been set.
- The AgriChain Centre works in partnership with staff to provide the support at the critical implementation stage.
- Assist in the establishment of an internal and external verification programme.
Well-designed quality assurance programmes can be separated into their components and reconstituted to meet internal management and customer needs no matter how often these may change.

- Integrating various programmes into a more easily managed programme
