TACCP / VACCP
Threat Assessment Critical Control Points / Vulnerability Assessment Critical Control Points · taccp · vaccp · food defense · food fraud
TACCP = food defence (deliberate attack, e.g. tampering, terrorism). VACCP = food fraud (economically-motivated adulteration). Required by GFSI schemes (BRCGS, SQF, FSSC 22000).
TACCP focuses on deliberate, ideologically- or criminally-motivated contamination of food (sabotage, extortion, tampering). VACCP focuses on economically-motivated adulteration / fraud (substitution, mislabelling, counterfeiting). Both require documented assessments, mitigation plans, and periodic review.
GFSI-recognised schemes (BRCGS Issue 9, SQF Edition 9, FSSC 22000 v6) all require both. FDA's Intentional Adulteration rule (21 CFR Part 121) covers food-defence for FSMA-covered facilities.
V5 stores TACCP and VACCP assessments alongside the HACCP / HARPC plan and triggers periodic review tasks.
