Verification Gaps

To mitigate risks, food safety authorities and global standards—such as the GFSI—require manufacturers to vet and approve suppliers before working with them.

From Reaction to Prevention

Preventive measures, however, are generally better than reactive ones and, in this case, the place where they belong is at the suppliers’ plants, not the manufacturer’s.

Setting Up a Monitoring Program

The supply chain is so complex that one bad supplier can have a massive impact on the rest of production. Bridging this gap is therefore critical.

3 Less Obvious Pros of Monitoring Programs

The immediate advantage of a monitoring program for foreign materials is to reduce the risk of shipping contaminated products to retailers and going through a recall. There are a few less obvious pros as well.

An Upcoming Trend

Supplier monitoring programs for foreign materials are still uncommon in the food industry, but things have started to change.
