Certified Latin American Transportation Food Safety and Quality Auditors Available

“The TransCert system requires transportation suppliers to meet management, HACCP, sanitation, temperature monitoring, traceability and training standards” said Dr. John Ryan, president Ryan Systems and the Sanitary Cold Chain.  TransCert standards provide a foundation for FSMA compliance and are designed to help supply chain participants meet customer logistics requirements.  Shippers, carriers and receivers working toward TransCert certification are expected to access their current transportation food safety systems, develop procedures and work instructions, train their personnel, prepare for an external transportation food safety audit and become TransCert certified.  Certification allows successful participants to carry the “TransCert Certified” logo on reefers, containers and other food carrying containers.

 

By using the TransCert “Container Checklist”, a company or a TransCert auditor can help shippers establish baseline data that provides a preliminary needs assessment, Ryan said.  TransCert has also established an online library of self-paced training modules to help clients in the certification audit.  External auditor certification training is provided in English and Spanish.  Training attendees receive a certificate for inclusion in their training documentation. The Sanitary Cold Chain also provides sample forms, logs and checklists as well as document control system guidance materials to Sanitary Cold Chain members.  For more information, visit www.SanitaryColdChain, email jryan@sanitarycoldchain.com, or call 808-469-0046.
