OVERVIEW
Food inspection services are essential for upholding food safety and quality standards. Aim to monitor food production processes, enforce regulations, and educate industry stakeholders. These services are crucial for protecting public health and ensuring that food products are safe for consumption.
Food inspection acts as a specialized quality management tool and a crucial checkpoint to uphold the quality and safety standards of your products directly within your sourcing countries, right from the initial stages of logistics.
Globalization and technological advancements have transformed the food supply chain, making it intricate with various stakeholders. Without robust quality monitoring, logistics, and food handling practices, the safety and quality of food products can be compromised.
TIC food inspection scopes are:
INITIAL PRODUCTION INSPECTION
Initial Production (IP) – In this service, we assist customers in verifying whether the raw materials meet contractual quality specifications and confirm if production can proceed according to schedule. The Initial Production Inspection typically occurs upon receipt of raw materials and readiness of the factory to commence production.
DURING PRODUCTION INSPECTION
During Production Inspection (DPI) is a quality control process conducted while production is ongoing. It involves inspecting a sample of products to ensure they meet required standards, identifying and rectifying issues early, and maintaining consistency and quality throughout production.
Final Random Inspection
Final Random Inspection (FRI) is a quality control process conducted at the end of production. It involves randomly checking samples to ensure they meet specifications and standards before shipment.
LOADING SUPERVISION
Loading Supervision (LS) is a quality control process during loading for shipment, ensuring correct products, quantities, and packaging according to specifications.
DAMAGE SURVEY
TIC’s food damage survey entails a comprehensive assessment conducted by our experienced inspectors to evaluate the extent of damage, loss, or spoilage in food products. This survey aims to provide objective insights into any damages incurred during transportation, storage, or handling, assisting stakeholders in determining liability, insurance claims, and necessary remedial measures.
