A Partnership for the Strengthening of Food Safety

Safeguarding consumers against hazardous food processing methods is a joint obligation. Partnerships support more innovation, stronger security, and more efficient procedures. It thus has the potential to lower food waste, boost productivity, and raise consumer happiness.

For more than 15 years, Fortress Technology and AIB International (AIBI) have combined their knowledge of GMP inspection, contaminant detection, and food safety while exchanging intelligence and cross-sector insight. Many food processors in the UK and around the world, including a multinational fast food chain, have benefited from this alliance of food safety brains and perspectives in developing strong GMP standards.

Both companies have collaborated to overcome certain production difficulties and raise standards on food processing lines by bringing in expertise as needed. Additionally, they have provided coaching to front-line employees in both companies and manufacturers regarding standard practices for hygiene, culture, production, documentation, and food safety.

Food safety is a dynamic concept. Workforce trends shift. Staff and seasonal products come and go. New substrates and labels are used in place of the packaging materials. Codes of practice for inspections change throughout time. Plans for food defense and critical control points must be routinely reviewed. Furthermore, food processors are unable to ignore hygienic and health and safety regulations.

As a producer of machinery, Fortress Technology is always improving the characteristics that allow for contamination and inspection, and incorporating these into food manufacturing lines. Having been established more than a century ago, AIBI is currently present in food plants doing GMP inspections, providing training, obtaining GFSI certifications, and assisting processors in locating and addressing gaps in their food safety strategies.

Each of the two businesses has an own business strategy. food safety being the common theme.

AIBI works with the team on a regular basis to discuss typical production concerns and issues that could compromise food safety in order to support Fortress with machine R&D. With the use of this data, Fortress is able to update software, create documentation tools that are impractical to complete in the past, and evaluate and improve equipment, hygienic practices, and communication features. safeguarding employees and reducing the possibility of the most common contaminant, data, and COP hazards that could jeopardize food safety.

Fortress provides coaching and information about how equipment enhances supply chain transparency, productivity, and processes to help AIBI. By increasing our collective expertise, we can better support AIBI Food Safety Professionals in identifying data, documentation, and reporting vulnerabilities as well as ensuring that cutting-edge features on inspection plant and equipment are used appropriately, protecting the safety of workers and food.
