FMCG Terrorism Countermeasures
FMCG terrorism countermeasures – detecting and preventing the threat of terrorism across the UK’s food and drinks supply chain.
FMCG Security
In partnership with The FMCG Academy we work with FMCG food manufacturers to reduce risk to the food and drinks supply chain in terms of potential threats, process vulnerabilities and countermeasures. We pay particular attention to employees who, with intent could swiftly destroy the economic status of an organisation.
FMCG Employee Background Checks
Background Checks
Our employee background checks, the tightest available in the UK have been designed specifically to protect FMCGs from the threat of terrorism. Our intelligence-led investigations instil confidence in the status, background and likely intentions of employees in an industry that has been identified by intelligence agencies as being at significant risk of attack.
Via direct communications with UK intelligence agencies it is estimated that an attack may occur within the next 18 months. Countermeasures will stop terrorists gaining access to your framework.

Skripal changed everything… a quick reminder on vulnerability…
It cost the Russians less than £2,000 to mount a mainland attack on the UK.
The result was devastating with town centres closed, hospitals quarantined, transport and businesses affected, a £10m clean-up bill and three people seriously ill with one fatality. More importantly, it created palpable fear in the population. Every terrorist group in the world now knows how to disrupt the UK easily, if they have a delivery system. The food and water distribution services provide a simple accessible delivery system, most of which is unguarded. It is a matter of great concern to the intelligence services.
This is not a new threat, but it is a significantly enhanced threat since Skripal, and an attack will occur. This is not to minimise the risks from rogue employees, pressure groups and ideologically motivated individuals, but the solution as far as there is one lies in taking adequate precautions based on comprehensive intelligence.
An attractive target…
The food supply chain is an attractive target for a terrorist attack. In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, the World Health Organisation (WHO) openly stressed the risks associated with food terrorism.
Of particular concern is “an act or threat of deliberate contamination of food for human consumption with biological, chemical or physical agents or radio-nuclear materials for the purpose of causing injury or death to civilian populations and/or disrupting social, economic or political stability”.
To help organisations reduce the likelihood of threat there are industry guidelines such as those provided in TACCP. Such guidelines however fall short in their understanding of the magnitude of the threat and offer only basic remedies that fail to address fully the true source of the threat – which is ‘people’.
The background checks noted below can be split into different levels of products dependent upon the level of potential threat individual employees may pose to an organisation, such as low-risk, vulnerable or high-risk.
We can create methods of investigation that are specific to your needs, sector, logistical, legal and administrative requirements.
