Course contents :
|
| These practicals enable the students to use control skills and tools of food safety and quality. These tools are those used by professionals of inspection and certification in the agro-industry sector.
After several reminds of theoretical principles of inspection and certification, the student will be placed in a practical situation in the competent authority and in a independent certification body. He will have to prepare his own inspection tools (check-lists...) and criticizes the outputs of inspection in relation with his own observation.
All the sectors of the agro-food sector will be concerned by these practicals : primary sector, transformation and distribution.
These practicals are multidisciplinary owing to the participation of members from other departments. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of these praticals, the student will be able to make the distinction between inspection and certification. Inspection is not only devoted to animals fit to human consumption in abattoirs but has a larger approach. The longitudinal aspect of the food chain will be emphasized. The student will understand that quality and security have to be implemented at the primary sector. The concept of food chain will be clear, as those of official controls.
The skill of observation will be developed following the visits on the field. Importance of veterinarians in the food safety and quality will be emphasized. |
