Forest of Dean Food Safety Ltd

One of my monthly jobs is horizon scanning and then compiling all of the food fraud and food safety information that has been an issue and that needs potential action. This is really important for my client so we ascertain the risk to them.
I also put together a food safety newsletter with hyperlinks so that my clients can head straight to the problem in question and see you once again if it has any relevance to them.
This is super important and helps us keep on top of an ever-changing world in relation to food fraud and product defence. I really hope they all find this useful, I must admit most months I am completely shocked with what I read!

Had a really interesting day yesterday with the FSA National Food Crime Unit, really great to see how the tools are use on a day-to-day basis build up such an important part of this.

A great day with our Traceability Challenge (TC) assessors and the Food Standards Agency's National Food Crime Unit (NFCU) delivering training on food fraud. Our wholly owned and operated TC Programme for licensees is comprehensive and industry leading. Thanks to our assessors who do a fantastic job...

 I wanted to give something back locally and I figured that I could do that by supporting our lovely forest foodies day! Excited to head over there at some point in the day.
