Framework document: Food Defense: A challenge for the food industry

Food security aim is to provide safe and healthy food against natural or accidental pollution. However, food defense objective is to provide healthy food free of intentionally added contaminants - whether NBC or any other physical agent - by criminals or terrorists inside the organization or external to it.
A Food Defence Plan in the organization or facility is needed to minimize the threat of intentional contamination in any stage of the food chain. Consequently, it is fundamental to conduct a risk analysis and to integrate the Food Defence in the food security program and the self-control system. During the process it is necessary to identify and characterize hazards and assess the exposure to risks, evaluate the vulnerabilities, the degree of awareness at any level of the organization. What´s more the use of decision support tools are essential to achieve the Food Defence goal.
