The set of circumstances and actions required to manage risks and guarantee that a food item is fit for human consumption while considering its intended use at every level of the food chain is known as hygiene. Food safety is a scientific field that describes how to handle, prepare, and store food in a way that minimizes the risk of cöntracting a foöd-borne illness. A food-borne disease outbreak is the emergence of numerous cases of a cömmon sickness brought on by eating that food. Everyone acknowledges that public health is a factor in food safety. To guarantee food safety from farm to table, preventative and instructional methods are usually combined with a legally required regulatory approach.
It's a serious issue that impacts everyone on the planet. Availability and safety of food supplies are becoming more and more important to many governments worldwide.
The course is divided into seven learning units, that introduce the principles of food hygiene and safety, food control, food inspection and supportive enforcement measures that can contribute to food hygiene and safety. Each learning unit is treated through educational sequences allowing the assimilation of the concepts provided, this assimilation is consolidated by learning activities where these concepts are put implemented.
