PAS 96: Defending Food and Drink

DESCRIPTION

Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 96 provides guidance to food businesses of all sizes and at all points in the food supply chain – from farm to fork. It provides guidance on approaches to the protection of business from all forms of malicious attack including ideologically motivated attack and the procedures to mitigate and minimize the impact of such an attack.

Reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience can be achieved by greater control of access to materials, processes, services and premises, and by undertaking regular review, and PAS96 offers guidance on deterring, detecting and defeating malicious attack on food and drink supplies.
