Global food safety training survey

The results are available from the fourth annual global survey of food safety training, conducted by Campden BRI and Alchemy, in partnership with BRC, SGS, SQF and TSI. The survey questioned food and drink manufacturers and processors worldwide to identify the needs, effectiveness and challenges of food safety training in the industry. The results reveal some interesting trends:

• Improving food safety culture was the top training goal for almost 80% of those surveyed
• Many companies are not exploiting the specialist expertise available in their HR departments
• Traditional training methods are still favoured over online methods

The survey was sent to over 25,000 food manufacturing sites worldwide, providing a clear snapshot of current activities, challenges and practices in food safety training. The companies represent a cross section of the industry and ranged in size from under 50 employees to over 1,000, in sectors including beverages, cereals and baking, dairy, retail, and packaging.
