Risk Assessments

Food Safety and Defense Risk Mitigation Strategies

Food Safety Management System

Targeted Preventative Control Programs (PCPs)

To mitigate risk, our food safety management system is comprised of two layers of protection: 1. Food safety and defense mitigation strategies 2. Preventative control programs (PCPs)

Food safety and defense risk mitigation strategies and PCPs are at the root of our grains and oilseeds handling and food manufacturing businesses, ensuring the agriculture commodities and food products we process and manufacture are consistently supplied at the very highest quality and food safety standard. Targeted preventative control programs include tactics to mitigate:

Pathogen risk

Allergen risk

Foreign material risk

While our food safety and defense systems minimize risk across our business, we root ourselves and our food processing facility teams in good manufacturing programs and a strong quality assurance and food safety culture across our organization. Good manufacturing programs include:

Pest management

Employee hygiene standards

Housekeeping standards

Cleaning and sanitation standards
