Keeping up to date with vulnerability

If you are working in a technical role in the food industry then chances are that the new vulnerability clause in the latest BRC Global Food Standard has not escaped your attention. It requires that a documented vulnerability assessment be carried on all raw materials to assess the potential risk of adulteration or substitution.

This, of course, addresses one of Professor Elliott's eight pillars (intelligence gathering) and moves the standard into the domain of Donald Rumsfeld's famous "unknown unknowns"! So, how do you possibly find out what these unknown unknowns are? Well, there is the traditional route of monitoring what is going through published horizon scanning documents such as our own Food Law Alert which comes free as part of your membership with us.

Or you could take advantage of a very different approach we have recently developed by using a bespoke horizon scanning portal. Based on AMI Smart Horizons it is tailored to your individual company needs. It continuously scans hundreds of key global information sources and automatically updates a dashboard on your computer on a daily basis, making it easy for you to know what is going on with minimum effort! Great for keeping up to date, and for showing compliance with that new BRC clause. Contact us for more information and a demo.
