Workshop Overview
Food fraud and food defense aren’t just buzzwords—they’re now written into major Standards like IFS Food, BRCGS Food, and FSSC 22000 Version 6.
While HACCP deals with accidental harm, VACCP and TACCP tackle the intentional stuff—fraud for profit or sabotage designed to cause harm. Sounds scary? It can be, especially when vulnerability and threat assessments feel like trying to crack a code.
That’s where this workshop steps in. We break down the complexity and give you a clear, practical methodology to make assessments manageable—and even interesting.
Learning is made fun & practical
At Progress Excellence, we do training a little differently. Whether it’s food safety, quality, health and safety, environmental, or laboratory systems – we make sure it’s practical, relevant, and easy to put into action.
We use real, sector-specific examples so the content actually makes sense in your world. Our sessions are interactive and hands-on, with activities that help turn theory into something you can apply straight away.
Plus, we share ready-to-use templates and implementation plans to make your job easier. Our goal? To give you the skills and confidence to not just understand the requirements, but to actually apply them and improve your systems in a meaningful way.
The Progress Excellence Approach
We don’t just throw theory at you—we make it stick:
✨ Breaking down the Standards to get clear on VACCP and TACCP requirements.
✨ Hands-on activities that make principles easy to grasp (and fun to apply).
✨ Guidance on where to find real-world info for horizon scanning.
✨ Practical tools to actually perform vulnerability and threat assessments with confidence.
By the End of This Workshop, You’ll Be Able To:
✔ Tell the difference between HACCP, VACCP, and TACCP (and explain it to others too).
✔ Understand exactly what the Standards expect.
✔ Perform both vulnerability and threat assessments.
✔ Get recall processes right by building strong, effective procedures.
