Food manufacturers are embracing food safety culture in response to regulator initiatives and GFSI/ retailer standards. Just passing audits of documented systems in no longer sufficient, they have to be lived by the whole business.

It is difficult to track and measure how well a positive Food Safety Culture is embedded. That is where independent tracking-surveys and support plays a major role in today’s food industry.

 

1.Team members may tell management just what they want to hear

2.By de-identifying responses and having independent facilitators more useful insights can be gained

3.All level of the business, from top management, middle & front line management and operators can be assessed; perceptions will likely vary

4.The process itself improves food safety culture by shining a light on its importance to staff

5.The process gives staff a safe route to raise concerns, immediately improving Food Safety Culture

6.It allows accurate tracking of the impact and return on investment of training and culture initiatives

7.The findings lays out the strengths and weaknesses of current food safety plans and allow benchmarking of different sites and business units
