TASCC (Trade Assurance Scheme for Combinable Crops) was developed because farmers and consumers wanted to be assured that crops of oilseeds, grain and pulses were treated responsibly once they left the farm. That includes wheat processed by flour millers and malting barley for the brewers and distillers in the drinks industry. TASCC allows businesses to demonstrate that they're meeting food safety laws as they are audited and accredited by an independant certification body.
The TASCC scheme is made up of four codes of practice aimed at auditing and certifying food safety standards through the whole supply chain including storage, haulage, merchants and testing facilities.
