Great training. Good content and extremely well presented.

I really enjoyed it, clear and to the point. A good short course for all staff in any industry.

The training provided a comprehensive understanding of what food fraud is and the various contexts in which it can occur. I was genuinely surprised by some of the real-life examples presented, which highlighted the seriousness and prevalence of food fraud in ways I hadn't previously considered.

Good content with clear explanations, relevant examples and activities. The course modules were easy to work through.

I found this food fraud prevention eLearning course great to do as I was able to stop and start as I needed to and rewind the video to ensure I received clear instructions.

Meet your trainer

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.

Intentional adulteration can happen at any stage in the food supply chain and at your site too! If there is money in it, unfortunately a criminal out there might be interested and motivated enough to do it.

The impact can be huge on public health, the brand, your food handlers and of course financial impact. That is why training the members of your food organisation on food fraud prevention and food fraud detection will help them identify potential food fraud vulnerabilities related to food ingredients and food products before it is too late.

Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognised certification programmes like BRCGS, SQF and FSSCC 22000 requires food professionals to be competent on the tasks they are responsible for. We suggest you enrol the following roles in this course (as well as the Food Defence Essentials e-learning:

Food handlers of exposed food
Team members working on steps identified as high risk by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) including liquid storage, mixing, blending,...
Production team leaders and supervisors
Operation Managers
Senior managers and directors
Supplier auditors
Anyone who is not in the Vulnerabilities Assessment and Critical Control Point (VACCP) or food Fraud Prevention team.

Food Surety Limited is a New Zealand-owned training and consultancy company. Our purpose is to support food professionals and their businesses doing what's right with confidence so they are successful and fulfilled protecting consumers everywhere.
