UK Government Food Standards Agency
Prior to leaving his employment with ADAS in 2007, Keith was heavily involved in delivery of the Food Standards Agency Hazard Analysis and Food Safety Management Initiative for Specialist Cheesemakers.
Keith delivered consultancy visits to specialist cheesemakers across the North of England, often accompanied by the local Environmental Health Officer. The purpose of the visit was to help the cheesemakers to demonstrate to their local authority and other interested stakeholders that they operated a structured approach to hazard analysis and food safety management on a day to day basis along with correct operation of Good Manufacturing Practices.
This simplified type of approach to demonstrating effective control of food safety has been very useful to other recent clients in the dairy and fresh produce sectors.
