Food Defense (TACCP) and Food Fraud (VACCP)
One day to assess your site’s threats and vulnerabilities and write the plans that BRCGS, IFS and FSSC 22000 ask for. The TACCP method addresses malicious acts, the VACCP method fraud on raw materials. Both are applied to your access points, teams, processes and suppliers, through to the mitigation plan and its annual review.

Frequently asked questions
Does a site with no incidents need a food defence plan?
Yes, if it aims for a GFSI standard: the plan is required whatever the history. It is also an opportunity to check who enters where, who has access to materials and finished products, and what happens outside production hours.
Must TACCP and VACCP form a single document?
The standards leave the format open. Many sites keep two separate assessments, because the team, the sources and the measures differ: security and access on one side, purchasing and testing on the other. The course presents both set-ups.
Do we need laboratory testing against fraud?
Not systematically. It is justified for the most vulnerable materials, alongside supplier approval and monitoring of alerts. The course helps you decide where testing provides useful evidence.
