B. From the way it is dried and stored afterwards
C. From the mill
D. From the kitchen at home

Reply A, B, C or D below, and tell us why you picked it. We will post the answer in the comments later today.

This is today's 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗥𝗖𝗚𝗦 class, live from our training room.

Here is the difference between a recorded course and a live one. A recording cannot answer your question. Our delegates can stop the trainer mid sentence and ask about their own factory, their own records, their own supplier.

That is the whole point of live virtual. You are in the room, you just are not in the car.

Introduction to HACCP and HACCP Teams are next up this month, and there are more dates after that.

Tag someone whose team is due for HACCP training this year.

We spend every week checking whether other businesses meet the standard. This week we are asking you to check us.

If ASC has audited your premises, trained your team, or handled your pest control this year, please leave us a review on Google or Facebook.

𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴. There is a difference and it matters to us.

We are not offering you a discount for it. We are not sending you the words to copy. And we are not only asking the clients we think will say something kind. Google's review rules ban all three, and a review somebody had to be paid for is not worth reading anyway.

So if we got something wrong, tell us. We would much rather fix it than never hear about it.

The next small food business looking for help to pass an inspection will read your words before they read ours.

Two minutes, link below. Thank you to every client who has trusted us with their food safety this year.

"Near misses, then celebration." Every quality team knows that feeling.

Something goes closer to the edge than it should have. Nothing goes wrong. Everyone laughs about it and moves on.

The trouble is that a near miss is not a pass. It is a warning that one of your controls is thinner than your paperwork claims. The fridge that recovered by itself. The label that nearly went on the wrong pallet. The certificate somebody spotted three days before it expired.

Write it down. Ask what stopped it, not who caused it. Then let your internal auditor go and look there.

We cover exactly that over two days in our Internal and Supplier Auditing Practices course, live online on 29 and 30 September 2026.

Writing the finding is the easy part. Closing it out is where audit programmes come undone.

FS26, Internal and Supplier Auditing Practices, runs live online on 29 and 30 September. Two days, advanced level 4, with audit templates you can take straight back to work.

You cover the standards and requirements, what an FSMS audit has to include, the audit process end to end, and how to report and close out corrective actions properly.

For internal and supplier auditors, QA, QC and production managers, and HACCP team members. Prior FSMS implementation training or equivalent experience is required.

30 percent off with the code SPRING30 if you book by Tuesday 15 September.

Know someone who has been asked to audit suppliers without ever being trained to. Tag them.

𝗔𝗻 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁, 𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀. 🎬

𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿: May I see your food safety objectives?

𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿: Of course. They are on the wall.

𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿: How do you measure them?

𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿: Monthly. Roughly.

𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿: May I see the last measurement?

𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿: (looks at the manager)

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿: (looks at the floor)

We have all been in that room. 😅

Then it gets worse.

𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿: And your food safety culture plan?

𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿: Our culture is excellent, ask anyone.

𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿: I will. I would also like to see it in writing.

That is the part most businesses miss. Not the cleaning. Not the fridges. The piece of paper that proves the people in charge take food safety seriously.

The good news is that you are probably already doing the work. It has just never been written down.

Which line have you said out loud? Comment the number.

𝟭. They are on the wall.
𝟮. Monthly. Roughly.
𝟯. Our culture is excellent, ask anyone.
𝟰. None. We would pass tomorrow.

Want number 4? Our Senior Management Commitment Procedure is free, editable, no form. Link in the first comment.

Braai season is open. Unfortunately, so is food poisoning season.

September is Heritage Month, and on 24 September thousands of gardens will be full of smoke. At ASC we love it. We would just like everyone to still feel fine on the 25th.

Three mistakes we see at almost every braai:

First, the same plate. Raw chops go on it. Cooked chops come back onto it. Everything the fire just killed has been put straight back on the meat.

Second, judging wors by colour. Wors is minced meat, so bacteria are mixed all the way through, not just sitting on the surface. Colour tells you nothing. The FDA puts minced meat at 71°C in the centre and chicken at 74°C.

Third, salads standing in the sun all afternoon. Anything with mayonnaise, dairy or cooked starch belongs in the fridge until people actually eat.

None of this ruins a braai. A cheap meat thermometer and one extra clean plate fix all three.

Now the fun part. Be honest with us.

A. Guilty of the same plate B. I cook by colour, no thermometer in this house C. My salads have been out since lunchtime

Reply A, B or C below, then tag the braai master in your family and let them defend themselves.
