Food Safety Culture

Food Safety Culture has evolved from a good-to-have principle to an obligatory program for companies across all segments of the food supply chain. TAG takes a holistic approach to the development and/or assessment of your company’s Food Safety Culture to ensure it meets today’s demands.

WHY CHOOSE TAG

Similar to the components seen as critical by GFSI, TAG focuses on six key cultural areas: vision and strategy, people and roles, learning and communication, change leadership and adaptability, consistency and hazard and risk awareness – to help assure food safety is integral to your company culture.

In addition to seeking evidence of the status of food safety culture through facility records, TAG’s onsite assessment includes interviews with managers and line workers, assessing attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors toward real or simulated scenarios around a vast range of food safety topics.

Maturity Model

Utilizing a peer-reviewed maturity model for food safety management from published scientific literature, TAG developed a simplified version to provide businesses with a qualitative overall idea of your current status in the journey toward a stronger, more mature Food Safety Culture.

Evaluation/Development

Whether you are seeking to develop a prominent Food Safety Culture in your facility – or company; want to improve an existing program; need to propose a program to your executives; or simply want to have the extent of your culture assessed, TAG has subject matter experts to ensure the culture of your business is truly food-safety focused.

Compliance

CFIA, Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, GFSI and US FDA’s New Era for Smarter Food Safety initiative, now promote a significant focus on Food Safety Culture. To help ensure your compliance with these voluntary – but highly recommended – programs, TAG can assess your compliance against these new standards and assist in aligning your Food Safety Culture processes, policies, and programs.
