Development of risk based sampling plans - Center of Excellence for Food Chain Safety & Risk Assessment

Sampling plans are an important tool to verify the effectiveness of a company's Food Safety Management System (FSMS)/Quality Management System (QMS). Several types of sampling plans exist, with each its specific goal. A good understanding of sampling plans and a transparent science-based method for the development of sampling plans are important for a well-functioning FSMS/QMS.

What can we do for you?

Ciboris develops tailor made risk-based sampling plans for food companies towards microbial, chemical, physical hazards and allergens. Risk-based sampling plans are an important tool for agro-food companies to verify the functioning of their Food Safety Management System. The application of a risk-based sampling plan has multiple advantages:

Limitation of amount of samples to be taken by focusing on high risk products
costs are reduced, because important problems are discovered in an earlier stage, so that preventive activities can be applied sooner.
Our transparent and scientifically based methodology helps you to make informed decisions
