Supplier Food Safety Management Workshops will assure the dairy industry food safety performance of their supplier network.  The workshop is science based and was designed to help companies identify, quantify, and mitigate risks from ingredients, packaging, equipment, and services. The approach taught is consistent with HACCP, GFSI schemes (SQF, BRC), and proposed FSMArequirements which broaden a dairy company’s accountability for it’s suppliers. Attendees will learn how to use a toolkit that assesses supply/suppliers for food safety hazards and will help determine appropriate prevention and mitigation steps.   Participants will be introduced to ‘minimum’ and ‘best’ practices associated with supplier food safety programs and given valuable food safety tools that include Risk Assessment Calculator, Food Safety Guidance Document in addition to practice sessions using the Tool Kit and sharing best practices with fellow attendees.
