Food Safety Culture
At Beldton, all employees are responsible for contributing to a successful food safety system. We empower each individual to bring forward solutions that improve efforts and take action when they have a concern or see an issue that may compromise food safety. We request the same food safety culture from our suppliers and distributors, as we set it for our self. This is achieved through certifications, audits and spot checks.
We screen, and review consumer as well as customer feedback, and act quickly to address potential product quality, or safety issues. In some cases mistakes can be made at our manufacturing sites, or at our suppliers that conceivably impact product safety, or quality. A product may, for instance, have a quality imperfection, or a contamination of the raw materials, or a mislabeling of ingredients. If this happens, protecting consumers’ safety is our number one priority, and when it is necessary, we will recall such products from the marketplace.
We monitor the number of product incidents we have globally. Beldton classifies them into those that could conceivably impact consumers’ safety (A class), and incidents that could potentially seriously affect product quality (B class). Wherever, and whenever these inadequacies occur we investigate them fully, distinguish the root cause, and capture them within a ‘case study’ report which is then deployed throughout the supply chain in order to prevent a recurrence.
Food Fraud / Defense
Food fraud has been an issue of growing concern in recent years, as the global food supply chain has become more complex and vulnerable to malicious activities. Food fraud can involve the mislabeling or adulteration of food products, or the substitution of lower-quality ingredients to increase profit margins. It can even involve the outright theft of food. The effects of food fraud can be far-reaching, including health and safety risks for consumers, economic losses for producers, and reputational damage for companies.
Beldton takes the following steps as defense mechanism to help prevent food fraud:
1. Establish traceability systems: Monitor the source of food products and track them throughout the supply chain. Ensure that products are not adulterated or mislabeled along the way and to detect a deviation early in advance.
2. Implement testing and verification protocols: Identify any discrepancies in ingredients or labeling that could indicate food fraud.
3. Secure the supply chain: Using tamper-proof packaging and implementing robust authentication processes.
4. Monitor the market: Report any suspicious activity, such as unusual pricing or unexpected changes in supply.
5. Educate employees: Regular food fraud prevention training to ensure they understand the importance of adhering to procedures.
By taking these steps, Beldton helps to reduce the risk of food fraud and ensure that the food supply remains safe as well as secure.
