PAS 96 - Defending Food and Drink

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.

Important: Only the softcopy of the course material will be distributed on the day of training. Thus participants are reminded to bring along their laptop for the duration of the training.

The programme aims to provide delegates with learning how to:

• State importance of a food defense program
• Interpret the terminology in PAS 96 and how this apply in food and food supply
• Describe the requirements for threat assessment and linkage with HACCP
• List various controls needed to eliminate or minimise risk on food and drink supply
