Toops Food Safety Programme

In 1997 amendments to the Food Act 1981 allowed businesses to design and implement their own HACCP-based Food Safety Programme (FSP) which would gain them an exemption from the Food Hygiene Regulations 1974.

At Toops we are committed to providing safe food to our customers. We are now implementing a HACCP-based FSP in each of our warehouses.

Any commitment to Food Safety will require complete support through the entire supply chain. We will be asking our suppliers to verify that the FSP used by them meet the legislative requirements of an HACCP-based FCP. Suppliers that meet these requirements will be considered Food Safety Approved Suppliers.

To become Food Safety Approved, each supplier will need to provide evidence to Toops Wholesale Limited that their processes and distribution provide safe food to all Toops warehouse sites.

Our Food Safety Approved Supplier Programme requires that:

Suppliers provide verification that they or their delivery agents have an appropriate FSP that meets the set standard i.e. a Ministry of Health approved HACCP-based FSP, MAF Export Licence or MAF Domestic Licence (applies to slaughter houses only)
Suppliers acknowledge product specifications and their delivery standards to Toops Wholesale Limited.
Suppliers will notify Toops Wholesale Limited if at any stage they fail to comply with these standards.
