Food safety training and courses
Food safety training is crucial for anyone in the food industry. The food safety courses by Eurofins Assurance UK cover various highly relevant subjects and are very popular among practitioners within the food industry.
To aid learning progression, we have designed the courses into two levels
- Basic food labelling – half-day: This course will provide an introduction to the legal requirements for labelling food products in the UK under FIR and to the law on compositional standards for food products.
- Advanced food labelling – 1 day: This course will provide an in depth look at the legal requirements for labelling food products in the UK and to the law on compositional standards for food products.
Microbiology in food is critical for food safety and quality as microorganisms in food could lead to food spoilage and pathogens, causing significant health risks to consumers. Together with microbiologists from Eurofins Food & Feed Testing teams in the UK, we offer different training around this important topic. See training calendar for details.
- Bacteria & Co for the bewildered – a beginner’s guide to food microbiology - half-day: This course will provide an introduction to microbiology and the ways in which microorganisms are important in the food industry. No prior knowledge of microbiology will be assumed.
- A taste of microbiology - 1 day: This one-day course describes to non-microbiologists the various kinds and types of microorganisms associated with foods, their effect on food products and/or consumers and the ways in which we can control or eliminate their activity.
- Microbiological criteria – half-day: This 4-hour course will provide insights into microbiological criteria. We will focus on how microbiological criteria are set, with reference to legal, regulatory, and commonly accepted standards, alongside customer specifications.
As a highly regulated area, good food safety knowledge of employees is key to your business’ performance. See training calendar for details.
- Insights into shelf life – 1 day: This 1 day course will provide an overview of the ways in which shelf life of products can be set for a wide range of food categories. We will consider both food safety and quality / spoilage issues affecting shelf life, and the microbiological, chemical and physical aspects of shelf life limits.
Management systems are fundamental to proper operations and compliant performance. You can count on us to train your employees or suppliers. See training calendar for details.
- Root cause analysis training – 1 day: In this course, we will discuss the importance of identifying the root cause (why) of a nonconformance so that the appropriate remediation and preventive measures (what/how) can be put in place to prevent future risks. The course will help develop a systematic approach to addressing risks related to nonconformances.
We can tailor food training on hazard analysis, critical control points, hygiene practices and beyond.
