A new set of modules that monitor food safety and fraud intelligence and assessment has been released
by BSI Supply Chain Services and Solutions. The module that has been created by the Business Standards
company has been developed in order to help those that are a part of the food industry to be more
proactive when attempting to reduce and prepare for any threats or challenges that could then impact
on customers. It is thought that the module will also help companies anticipate problems which could
then mean that they can avoid problems and reduce and a negative impact on the company’s bottom
line or brand reputation. It is the brand reputation and the bottom line for a business that can be the
essential incentives to prepare for the risk of threats.
The new modules will be looking at food safety and fraud intelligence, therefore the systems that form
part of the BSI module will allow companies to manage any points where there are possibilities for food
tampering, contamination or any form of mislabeling in order to prevent any incidents actually
occurring. The modules will also explore the situations around any recalls and any deceptive food and
beverages.
The British Safety Institute has developed their Supply Chain Services and Solutions as a web based
application which consists of the Supply Chain Risk Exposure Evaluation Network, or SCREEN. The BSI
have created SCREEN as a solution which will provide two different risk indicators. The two indicators
are for food safety and then for food fraud. The web based risk evaluation solution is capable of
providing a threat rating for more than 200 different companies. The system will also have an element
of interaction in order to display risk maps and other qualitative reports. SCREEN is currently working
successfully as it has led to the Brazilian authority managing to indict 63 different people for their role in
a tainted meat scandal.
