Ensuring food quality with our watertight risk analysis
Food production is not without risks. You already identified the key microbiological risks for your products, such as the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium botulinum or Bacillus cereus in ready-to-eat foods. Nevertheless, it's reassuring to have some help when you take another look at your products. Have you properly identified all microbiological risks in your raw materials and finished products? And are the measures in your production process sufficient to market a safe product, according to current legislation? A microbiological risk assessment not only provides insight into your current situation, but it also completes your risk analysis, providing insight and reassurance.
With the extension of shelf life and the reduction of additives in foods, there are increasing microbiological risks that you need to consider. Furthermore, the range of requirements from government agencies, certification bodies and retailers are extensive. Risk analyses of your products remain an ongoing process and note that it is not easy to identify all risks. That’s where our experts come in. With all the knowledge and tools to perform a thorough risk analysis for your raw materials and finished products, we work according to the FAO and WHO Microbiological risk assessment - Guideline for food (2021). Our risk analyses are well-received by government agencies and certification bodies, ensuring that you can confidently market consumer-safe products and guarantee compliance with legislation.
High-level microbiological risk analysis
A well-executed risk analysis is the backbone of any well-functioning quality system, quality manual and quality certification. In fact, conducting risk analyses of both raw materials and your finished products is a legal requirement.
Our experts are well-versed in all markets and know the risks of raw materials, processes, storage, packaging of finished products, and safety measures like no other. They help you to identify potential risks and control measures to deliver a food-safe product that meets all regulatory requirements.
