With over 19 years' experience of working in the food industry, I started as a Concept Technologist before moving on to work as a Product Developer for leading retailers such as Marks and Spencer and Sainsbury's, as well as starting my own, first to market, chilled free from dessert business ‘Pudology’. Today, I’m passionate about helping and working with early-stage Food & Drink businesses, providing guidance on all aspects of product development, food safety, compliance, and general support through the challenges of concept to launch. I’m passionate because I’ve been in your shoes and I know how hard it can be. 👉 Are you struggling to balance immediate operational responsibilities? 👉 Are you having trouble finding the time and space to focus on the bigger picture, but you know that this is the work you need to do to move the business forward? 👉 Are you eager to get your product to launch but are lacking the know how? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of those questions, perhaps we should talk?

“I never imagined that I would relocate to Israel, until I got a job offer from Strauss Group. Over the years, I managed food safety for large international companies and also visited and worked at factories around the world - in the US, France, Ireland, Denmark, the Netherlands, Italy, Poland and more. When I received the offer from Strauss, I came for a tour of Israel and discovered that Strauss was an interesting global company engaged in numerous areas of operation and with many production lines - coffee, water, sweets, salads, savory snacks, dairy products... I visited factories, met lots of people and just fell in love. A year has passed since I arrived, and I’m very proud of what we've achieved. I’ve learned from the experience and knowledge gained throughout my career that success is based mainly on: 🍴 Understanding that food safety is an eternal mindset – you can't complete a series of tasks or KPIs and say, ‘We did it! We reached the finish line!’ It's an ongoing, consistent, and never-ending process. 🍴Focus and discipline – because we're talking about a lengthy process, it’s important to stick with it and do what is required. It’s like brushing your teeth - we do it every day, and nothing happens if we skip it once. But if we continue to skip brushing, at the end of the day, we’ll have a problem. 🍴 Promotion of an organizational food safety culture – every single person in the company needs to feel a sense of responsibility. It’s important to provide tools and encourage the people on the production floor to take action, to report hazards and have an impact. This happens when there's a good food safety culture. 🍴 Constant monitoring – it’s important to constantly check the goals and to fine tune them when required. Sometimes, we’re great and creating solutions for crises, and after working towards them with lots of energy and excitement and resolve them, we ignore the root cause. You need to understand, that even after the crisis, there's still a lot to do every day to prevent the next crisis.” *Robert Boisvert is Senior Director for Food Safety and Sanitation at Strauss Group #FoodSafety

To develop a fit-for-purpose food safety culture within a food business, it is important to take a strategic approach to determine where the food safety culture fits into the wider organizational culture of the business. A great starting point is to ask, "What are our goals, and what are we trying to achieve?" Once these answers are clarified, a five-step journey must be taken: 1. Develop the culture strategy 2. Get buy-in from the leadership of the business 3. Implement the strategy 4. Roll out specific initiatives to help strengthen food safety culture 5. Maintain the strategy through a process of continuous improvement.  #foodsafetyculture #strategy #continuousimprovement
