BIANZ Food Safety Programme |
|
Do you need to save your business time and money? Do you want to be confident that you have identified all food safety issues and are managing them appropriately? Do you need your processes to be consistent? Then using the BIANZ Food Safety Programme template is the way to go. With the increasing emphasis on being a trusted supplier of food, manufacturers are constantly on the lookout for faster and cheaper ways of becoming food compliant. Using our template means you don’t have to waste time creating your own Food Safety Programme. This can be very valuable for those who do not have a strong background in food legislation requirements. The BIANZ Food Safety Programme is one of the best options for busy manufacturers. The BIANZ template is a simple guide detailing the major documentation steps of a Food Safety Programme. Each individual business simply needs to customise the programme with their specific details and delete the options which do not apply. When complete, your business will have a programme which reflects your actual practice in a consistent and standardised method which identifies and controls food safety hazards. The HACCP-based programme can be used by anyone in the baking industry and is supported by the New Zealand Food Safety Authority. BIANZ members will also have the opportunity to use auditors from AsureQuality who are familiar with the BIANZ tailored programme – speeding up the audit process and saving you time and money.
