Agbiz Grain develops food safety conduct
Published: 03/11/2022
Agbiz Grain has developed a food safety
conduct supported by members. The conduct describes how the storage operator
and its activities are managed or directed. The document communicates the
conduct to clients, including producers, customers, and any other market
participant that delivers grain and oilseeds for commercial storage to a
storage operator.
Future revisions to the document will
incorporate reviewed legislation or follow-up inputs reached by consensus
between members. Members are encouraged to use the Agbiz Grain food safety
conduct in storage agreements. By signing the storage contract and/or
submitting to the harvest rules of the storage operator, the client is bound to
the standardised food safety conduct of the storage operator.
The conduct fully supports the relevant
legislation that the storage sector has to comply with. Any additional requirements
demanded by clients in terms of food safety are not covered by the Agbiz Grain
food safety conduct. The malted barley and canola passports are typical
examples where additional requirements are negotiated between the respective
storage operator and the respective clients.
