Food safety and quality trainings
Food safety is about consumer safety, whereas food quality is about satisfaction - but both concepts require stringent practices throughout the food supply chain in order to preserve food from contamination, food-borne illness or other types of adulteration that may impact the final safety and quality of your food product.
Our food safety and quality trainings include:
- Food safety culture
- EMP (Environmental Monitoring Programme)
- Food allergen
- Food plants, microbiology and hazards
- Food safety in manufacturing
- FSMA preventive controls Qualified Individual training
- FSMA produce

- Quality management systems
Food labelling and regulation trainings
Labelling tells consumers what ingredients, potential allergens, and nutritional value, etc. is in the products they buy. Food regulations on the production, handling and selling of food products are often specific to each country and constantly evolving and becoming more complex. Our food labelling and food regulation trainings include:
- Nutrition labelling
- Basic & advanced food labelling

Food integrity training
Food fraud is the deliberate and intentional substitution, addition, tampering or misrepresentation of food products or food ingredients. It is also classed as food fraud when food products are mislabelled.
Our food integrity training sessions cover:
- Food authenticity

- Food fraud vulnerability and mitigation
- Root cause analysis
- Pesticide residues

Food audit and certification
Compliance with internationally recognised standards and local regulations requires proper preparation. Having the fundamental knowledge of the standards is the first step in preparing your audits and certification plans.
Our training courses explore standard scheme requirements and cover ISO components, food safety management system implementation strategies, and the entire certification process:
- GFSI certification standards
- BRCGS certification
- IFS certification
- SQF certification
- FSSC 22000 certification
- FAMI-QS
- GlobalGAP
We also offer Internal Food Safety Auditor trainings for those who want to manage the audit and certification audit preparation internally.
Our certification activities are provided by independent Certification Bodies, separately from any consulting activities. Impartiality is safeguarded by Eurofins Assurance’s relevant policies to avoid conflicts of interest.
The proposed training courses are independent of Eurofins Assurance’s audit and certification activities. Participation in and completion of a training course does not provide any advantage or guarantee of obtaining certification. The certification activities are managed by separate entities or teams in accordance with strict impartiality requirements.
