So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Roles Of Food Safety Consultant

By Leslie Mitchell


It is important for organizations that have food supply chains to standardize their services regardless of their sizes and number of chains. A food safety consultant comes in handy for such organizations as he provides certification, training and overall organizational guidance. He is also specialized in providing support to other senior management officers in food processing and supplying institutions.

The support and guidance offered by consultants are aimed at achieving pocket-friendly methods of coming up with a standard scheme in an institution. It is also aimed at ensuring that appropriate systems are established and are monitored accurately at all times. Some consultants are specialized in offering auditing services to such outlets. Others also offer certification services to organizations but is considered conflict of interest in the event that they offer both concurrently.

These practitioners have several duties to perform including carrying out pre-assessment to identify the needs of the company. They also provide written programs with contributions from all parts of the organization. They also train staffs about the new foods policies and procedures which the help to improve on their general awareness. They also improve on the already existing food safety procedures and practices.

Sometimes, consultants are called in to assist employees in overall awareness of their duties. They train staff in procedure and new policies that the owners want implemented. In the process, they may also be helpful in determining the worth of the proposed new policies and plans and point out their weak points and setbacks. Sometimes, they also assist in identifying the challenges associated with the new plans.

Employee orientation in a food processing institution is of utmost vitality. This is because it helps in minimizing times wasted and maximizes on the full potentials of new labor. Some occasions also call for an upgrade in the existing policies and procedures in a given institution. In the event that this happens, consultants are asked to help orientate existing employees to the proposed rules and procedures.

It is important to choose the right adviser be it as a part of a company or in self employment. This is because the company will fully rely on them to ensure that the foods are safe. Technology, through GFSR, has made it possible for companies and individuals in the foods-supply chain to be able to have instant access to modified database that helps them find professional in foods protection requirements.

Before hiring foods specialists as business partners, there are a number of factors to be considered. One should be able to consider the expertise, cost and the experience of the specialist. They should be able to have a practical knowledge of the company and the services they offer. The adviser should be able to give a good number of samples that show the clear understanding of the standard schemes that the organization would want to implement.

In conclusion, a food safety consultant can also help organizations as they prepare for audits and pre-audits conducted by certified registrars. This puts organizations in a better position to meet all the demands of the audits and inspections conducted lest they risk losing their licenses. Consultants are also reliable in sourcing for equipment on behalf of organizations.
