About this Unit
The goal of this unit is to integrate previous studies in food processing and food safety to develop an understanding of food quality assurance, good manufacturing practices and quality management systems as they are applied to the control and management of food production. Food laws, regulations and codes at State, National and International levels are covered. The unit includes aspects of elementary toxicology and risk analysis. The unit also includes a practical exercise of developing a HACCP plan for a food manufacturing process, and the implementation of quality management systems such as ISO 22000 to a food process.
