A food safety policy is in place and communicated by Top Management. The policy is supported by measurable objectives which are reviewed according to internal and external issues impacting on the ability of Afoodable to achieve these objectives. Factors contributing to the success of meeting our objectives are identified throughout the year and used as input into the management review. This information is used to set new objectives for the following year. Any failure to meet objectives is investigated and actioned accordingly.
The impact of internal and external factors is facilitated through the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Threat Assessment and Critical Control Points (TACCP) and Vulnerability Assessment and Critical Control Point (VACCP) study which addresses any changes to legal requirements; technological advancements; market requirements; food defence and food fraud and socio-economic climates.
