Optimizing Raw Material Contaminant Monitoring Process and Reporting in Final IFT Products
Background
Within FrieslandCampina’s IFT product category, food safety is of utmost importance. A key component of safeguarding food safety is controlling the contaminant levels in raw materials used in final products. The basis for these contaminant specifications is determined by relevant legislation, FrieslandCampina’s internal raw material risk fact files, and standardized templates used by the Raw Material Specification Specialists.
To maintain oversight and control, suppliers are requested to submit annual contaminant monitoring reports. However, continuous improvement of this process, as well as ensuring alignment with the latest legislation, literature, and industry best practices, is crucial.
Objective
The objective of this internship is to analyse and improve the process of contaminant monitoring in raw materials used for IFT products, by conducting a literature study, reviewing internal processes and risk files, evaluating supplier reporting quality, and proposing optimizations in reporting structure and data management.
