JDE Peet’s has been expanding through the acquisition of various coffee and tea companies, which introduces unique challenges and risks that must be effectively managed. In her talk, Ana will discuss the strategies employed by JDE Peet’s to integrate an acquired factory into JDE Peet’s quality and food safety standards.

Ana’s presentation will cover:

• The methods used to identify and assess hygienic design risks, along with a review of risk mitigation practices.
• The prioritization of investments to address higher or more difficult-to-mitigate risks.
• The integration of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) equipment risk management.

This approach highlights a business opportunity for managing food safety risks through a risk-based approach to equipment renewal.
