Abstract

The work is devoted to the development and substantiation of the method of identification and assessment of risks of food protection from economically motivated fraud and bioterrorism, taking into account the requirements of international standards for the development and operation of food safety management systems. The purpose of the work is to scientifically substantiate and develop a method of identification and assessment of risks of food protection from economically motivated fraud and bioterrorism, which is based on the concepts of VACCP and TACCP taking into account the requirements of international standards GLOBALG.A.P. and ISO 22000: 2018. Research methods - theoretical and modeling (development of identification method and selection of risk assessment criteria), representative (presentation of the application of the developed method) and diagnostic. The latter tested the possibility of applying the developed method to assess the risks of protecting food products from economically motivated fraud and intentional harm, taking into account the requirements of international standards. Results. A method for identifying and assessing the risks of food protection from economically motivated fraud and intentional harm, taking into account the requirements of international standards, developed criteria and methodology for risk assessment

Keywords
