• A food security plan using established risk management principles should be developed and implemented.



• Procedures for notifying appropriate law enforcement and public health officials when a food security threat is received, or when evidence of actual product tampering is observed, should be detailed in the plan.



• Current local, State and Federal Government Homeland Security contacts and public health officials should be listed in the plan. This list should be updated regularly.



• Members of the food security management team should be trained in all provisions of the plan. The plan should be periodically reviewed and revised as needed.
