Achieving FSSC 22000 Certification is more than a process change. It is a fully integrated Food Safety and Quality System across the entire supply chain from vendors to consumers, said Bel Brands USA Director of Operations Ed Blascak.
Blascak and Procurement Manager Mark Riemer talked about how their cheesemaking facility in Little Chute, Wis., prepared itself for certification inspection and acceptance. They spoke at the International Dairy Show in Chicago in November. Dairy Foods named the facility its 2013 Plant of the Year.
The seminar presentation is downloadable in PDF and PowerPoint formats.
