This template is built in a way to capture all the elements covered in The Food Defense Plan Builder (FDPB) version 2.0. While it is structured differently, it covers all aspects of the FDA Intentional adulteration Rule and beyond, it is actually more comprehensive and broader in line with GFSI guidelines. It complies with The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) in USA addressing intentional adulteration and Food Defense.
