Recent developments in food safety (update) training course

3rd November 2026 | 09:15 - 13:00 | 13:30 with assessment

The value of keeping up-to-date on food safety should not be underestimated. Food Safety Management approaches rely on our ability to identify potential issues. Effective review cannot be carried out with out up to date knowledge. Systems cannot stay compliant with food safety standards if those managing them are unaware of requirements and expectations. This online update session covers changes in food safety management in recent years and is ideal for food industry professionals who completed their food safety training at least 3 years ago.

Course overview

We will look at the evolution of food safety management over recent years and identify changes in HACCP following the 2020 Codex update, review use of the new decision tree, and look at new requirements, including those for training and competence.

We will discuss the increased importance of Food Safety Culture, the rationale behind it, good practices and the approaches that businesses have taken to implementing and demonstrating Food Safety Culture.

We will review recent updates to GFSI standards, using BRC version 9 as our main example. We will discuss topical issues, with recent food safety incidents as examples. Also, food safety foresight and the issues which experts and regulators are predicting will bring increased food safety issues in the coming years.
