VACCP — Vulnerability Assessment and Critical Control Points — is the documented food-fraud assessment GFSI schemes require. Most run on guesswork. Yours can run on live economic signals — price spikes, harvest losses, trade disruption.
VACCP (Vulnerability Assessment and Critical Control Points) is the food-fraud counterpart to HACCP: a systematic, documented assessment of how vulnerable each raw material is to economically motivated adulteration, required by GFSI-benchmarked standards such as BRCGS, IFS and FSSC 22000. Most teams still run it as an annual, opinion-based exercise. iComplai turns it into a live, data-driven one: every raw material carries a fraud-vulnerability score computed from real economic drivers — price spikes, harvest losses, trade disruptions — combined with the adulterants known for that material and the detection methods that catch them. When predicted risk rises on a material or origin, the reassessment triggers immediately instead of waiting for the next calendar review.
Vulnerability
Every material scored for fraud vulnerability, updated as economic motivators move — so your VACCP review starts from today’s pressure map.
Adulterants
The adulterants library lists known adulterants and detection methods for each material — the “how would they cheat, and how would we catch it” column of your assessment, pre-filled.
Reassess
Predicted fraud risk rising on a material or origin can trigger a VACCP reassessment automatically — arriving with the relevant adulterants-library content and possible mitigation tactics attached.
Validated · Mycotoxin risk called months ahead
iComplai flagged rising fraud pressure on hazelnuts in Feb 2025, as Turkey’s poor harvest squeezed supply; by Oct 2025 monthly mycotoxin notifications for hazelnuts were up 274%, the trajectory the models had predicted. Read the case →
Q1
GFSI schemes expect a review at least annually — and whenever new information changes the risk picture. With live vulnerability scores that second condition becomes operational: a predicted fraud-risk rise on a material or origin triggers the reassessment automatically, arriving with the relevant adulterants-library content and possible mitigation tactics attached.
Q2
Economic fraud motivators tracked in real time — reduced supply and logistics disruptions, geopolitical conflicts and trade restrictions, demand spikes and commodity price anomalies — combined with worldwide fraud cases from the fraud risk signals, tagged across ten fraud types with a 1–3 severity score.
Q3
The scores and adulterant data are built as compatible input for those schemes’ vulnerability-assessment requirements, and every score traces back to its underlying signals — so auditors see evidence rather than opinion. The documented assessment itself remains yours; iComplai supplies the defensible data layer beneath it.
