This course has been developed for all personnel associated with the food chain. Managers and technologists throughout the chain need to collaborate before the concepts of food traceability can achieve full potential. The course content may have more significant impact on professionals associated with Product Quality Assurance, and with specific responsibility for microbiological safety of food products. Description
The overall purpose of this 90-minute accredited online course is to assist managers and professionals in the food chain to gain an appreciation of the technologies available for tracing and monitoring food products and ingredients from a defined point of origin to the point of consumption.
