Last chance to join our next Allergen Management, and Validation and Verification training dates! ✅ Validation and verification are essential components of an effective food safety management system, yet their distinctions are often unclear. When these processes are not implemented correctly, they do not guarantee the production of safe food, as intended. This course aims to provide clear guidance on designing robust validation and verification systems. It seeks to clarify these concepts by highlighting the importance of validating systems before implementation to ensure their capability to produce safe products. Verification activities, on the other hand, confirm ongoing compliance and effectiveness after implementation. Each of these elements plays a crucial role in ensuring food safety by addressing critical aspects throughout the production process. Delegates will gain insights into international standards' requirements for validation and verification, and they will learn best practices through case studies that demonstrate practical application.   📌 See the Course Summary: https://lnkd.in/eRHP_DTW   🥜 Food allergens remain a persistent concern in the food and related industries, requiring robust management strategies to ensure consumer safety. Our upcoming course is dedicated to guiding delegates in implementing an effective Allergen Management Programme. Key topics include conducting allergen risk assessments, scheduling production to minimize allergen cross-contamination, and validating cleaning procedures. Practical exercises and case studies will reinforce these concepts, providing hands-on experience to enhance delegate's understanding and proficiency. Delegates will gain foundational knowledge of allergen management, covering different types of allergens, legislative requirements, and their role in implementing and maintaining an Allergen Management Programme.   📌 See the Course Summary: https://lnkd.in/eR6MdPMk Contact us today to start your food safety training journey -  https://lnkd.in/d7nauSYY  or za-info@mxns.com #foodsafetytraining #FoodSafety #Allergens #ValidationVerification

Set your reminders for the next PRP and HACCP training dates Cape Town! 🚦 Successful implementation of PRPs (Prerequisite Programmes) forms the cornerstone in controlling food safety hazards within food handling organizations. These practices are crucial for managing operations to prevent or mitigate food contamination, whether through direct contact or cross-contamination. This course is designed to equip delegates with fundamental knowledge of PRP requirements across various standards and guidelines. By the end of the course, the delegates will be able to identify key PRP elements, implement them effectively in food environments, and understand their integral role in enhancing operational efficiency, product quality, and overall hazard control. 📌 See the Course Summary: https://lnkd.in/e3XNTtty ✅ HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) is a systematic approach to food safety management that identifies potential hazards throughout food production and the supply chain. It addresses microbiological, chemical, and physical risks from raw material procurement to final product distribution and consumption. Simply put, HACCP asks, "What could go wrong, and how can we ensure it doesn't?" This course specifically covers the requirements outlined in national (SANS 10330:2020) and international standards. Our comprehensive course focuses on proactive measures to build a safer and more trusted food supply chain and aims to equip delegates with the knowledge and skills needed to lead HACCP teams, implement effective HACCP programmes, and document study results. On completion, delegates will be prepared to initiate HACCP teams, establish and monitor critical control points (CCPs), and ensure compliance with international and national food safety regulations through rigorous validation, verification, and review processes. 📌 See the Course Summary: https://lnkd.in/ePRB7rVb Contact us today to start your food safety training journey - https://lnkd.in/d7nauSYY or za-info@mxns.com #foodsafetytraining #HACCP #FoodSafetyCulture
