Chain Assurance
Corona, the war in Ukraine and climate change are putting more pressure than ever on the food chain. It is causing shortages of raw materials, such as sunflower oil, wheat and packaging materials and thus higher commodity prices. Purchasing at the lowest possible raw material prices is important to continue producing as optimally as possible as a company, but the importance of purchasing safe raw materials must always come first. The quality department has its hands full ensuring product safety in the chain and sees the risks of purchasing potentially unsafe raw materials too quickly: creating a public health hazard, consumer fraud and possible recalls with far-reaching consequences, such as high costs, image damage or even plant closure.

The importance of good supply chain assurance
A food-safe product can only be achieved if all links in the chain pursue the correct food safety requirements. Buyers should be aware that proper chain assurance is many times more difficult with complex and long chains. A simple raw material can sometimes have already gone through an entire journey with several links before it reaches the production facility. The accessibility of suppliers must also be taken into account.
