Intentional Adulteration of ingredients and/or finished products is an important issue for manufacturing since it was passed as part of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Numerous cases of adulteration by disgruntled employees have happened over the past decade that hurt consumer confidence in numerous food brands. 3rd party audit certification bodies like SQF and BRC now require employees to undergo yearly training to meet their specifications around food defense training.
