Ray Haddad
I am the Trainer & Managing Director at Food Surety Limited. I have worked in the food industry in quality assurance roles, auditing, consulting, training, instructional design, workplace assessment and as an advisor in international food safety projects. This varied experience has given me a depth of understanding of the needs and the pain points among the different parties in the food industry.

Since 2007, I've had a proven track record conducting hundreds of audits including external 3rd party certification audits as an auditor/verifier recognised by the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). In addition, I have trained thousands of food professionals from government agencies, NGOs, academia and businesses across the whole supply chain from farm to fork and across the different sectors,  not only in New Zealand but in Southeast Asia and Middle East.

I am driven by food professionals' experiences of light bulb moments and breakthroughs in their thinking. I enjoy supporting them protecting food for all.

Testimonials

I’m passing on a recommendation for a good course and trainer. I recently completed VACCP training with Food Surety.
The one day course was via zoom and was surprisingly hands on with breakout rooms and working through examples. It has helped reflecting on all potential fraud types across the entire supply chain and appropriate mitigations.
I highly recommend it.

What is food defence?
"The process to ensure the security of food, food ingredients, feed or food packaging from all forms of intentional malicious attack including ideologically motivated attack leading to contamination or unsafe product" (Global Food Safety Initiative - GFSI) Benchmarking Requirements, 2020
What is Threat assessment  and Critical Control Point - TACCP meaning?
"Systematic management of risk through the evaluation of threats, identification of vulnerabilities, and implementation of controls to materials and products, purchasing, processes, premises, people, distribution networks and business systems by a knowledgeable and trusted team with the authority to implement changes
to procedures" PAS 96:2017
What makes an excellent Food Defence TACCP training course?
Other than the typical expectations of good course content, engaging, easy to follow and understand course, an excellent TACCP training course should be relevant to the food industry trainee’s sectors and provide them with practical tips and best practices that help them to do what is right with confidence protecting consumers and their food businesses' brands. Knowledge is good but applying it at your food establishments is great.

How do I build a food defence plan?
The three main actions required would be:
  • Conducting threats assessment in order to priorities mitigation actions required
  • Developing a food defence plan
  • Implement the food defence plan supported by the Food Safety Management System (FSMS) at your food business


In this Food Surety course "Developing & Implementing Food Defence Plan TACCP" a full step-by-step process is explained and a complete food defence template is provided.
What is the impact of food defence attacks?
The impact of food defence events will vary based on the type of the attack, the target, and the scale of the attack.

In general, the potential impact include:
  • public health harm
  • economic impact 
  • decrease consumer confidence
What is the difference between food safety, food defence and food fraud, HACCP, TACCP and VACCP?

Food Safety (HACCP) is about ensuring the food is safe, not causing harm to the consumer.
Food defence (Threat Assessment and Critical Control Point - TACCP) is related to intentional attacks aimed at causing large scale public health harm (and to the food business, premises and even the brand as per certain certification standards) while food fraud prevention (Vulnerability Assessment and Critical Control Point - VACCP) is related to intentional adulteration and intentional deception aimed at making more money illegally using food products.
