Monitoring Suppliers' Food Safety Performance
When it comes to ensuring the food safety of their products, Food & Beverage companies need to be able to understand the risk across the supply chain. This entails not only having a comprehensive overview of the internal food safety processes, but also their sourcing suppliers’ food safety performance.
The Challenge
Monitoring the food safety performance of collaborating suppliers can be a daunting and time-consuming task due to the sheer volume of sourcing partners, their global location, the different sourced ingredients, as well as the different food safety processes, often not digitalized employed by each of them. This can result in having a limited view of their suppliers’ food safety risk, potentially leaving them exposed to a future recall.
Food & Beverage companies increasingly ask for a solution that would allow them to track, evaluate and assess the performance and adherence to food safety standards of their suppliers according to their geography.
How this Webinar Can Help
In this online discussion, we will be focusing on:
• The major challenges that F&B companies face when it comes to assessing the food safety performance of their suppliers
