Description

This training is the best option you can find to specialize in Traceability in Food Industries and update your knowledge"

The postgraduate certificate in Traceability in Food Industries of TECH Global University is the most complete among those offered in universities at this time because it is aimed at the comprehensive management of food safety, in this case focused on the traceability of the entire production process in this type of factories.
In this course, relevant concepts in food safety are developed, focusing on the production of raw materials of animal origin. Differentiated quality seals are studied, as well as the auditing and certification processes of agri-food industries.

In addition, it establishes the internal audit and certification systems of the agri-food industries, the bodies involved in these processes and their regulations, and analyzes the differentiated quality seals and the production requirements that these foods must meet.

It should be borne in mind that the food crises that have occurred in recent decades at European and world level have demonstrated the need for systems to identify, locate and withdraw products that could represent a food safety risk and a danger to the health of the population.

The obligation of all companies in the food sector to have a food safety plan makes it essential for the members of the quality department team to be familiar with each of the phases of the HACCP system, including batch traceability.

For this reason, this postgraduate certificate offers the professional a solid foundation, skills and abilities that will allow them to develop and implement a traceability plan in the different food industries of the sector.

The teachers of this postgraduate certificate are university professors and professionals from various disciplines in primary production, the use of analytical and instrumental techniques for quality control, the prevention of accidental and intentional contamination and fraud, regulatory schemes for food safety certification (Food Safety/Food Integrity) and traceability (Food Defence and Food Fraud/Food Authenticity).

It is an educational project committed to training high-quality professionals. A program designed by professionals specialized in each specific subject who face new challenges every day.

Postgraduate Certificate in Traceability in Food Industries Food Industry

The final success of the food production chain that corresponds to consumer satisfaction does not depend exclusively on business guidelines, the smooth operation of manufacturing systems or the effectiveness of supply logistics; a good part, not to say elementary, of this chain is subject to zootechnical factors that not only lead the productive exploitation, but also influence countless variables such as the final price. This is where veterinary expertise comes in and TECH Global University, driven by the forefront of the labor market, presents the Postgraduate Certificate in Traceability in Food Industries Food Industry. Ensuring environmental sustainability, ethical transparency and safety in the manufacture of food with animal origin is the paradigm that our program aims to cover within its primary objective. Through a rigorous study that allows you to deepen your knowledge, but at the same time flexible and dynamic in the aspect of schedules and adaptation of the contents, our virtual course will provide you with the necessary skills to practice in a highly significant area for social development and health in the world.

Food traceability Why is it essential?

In 2019 the CDC (Center for Disease Control): one of the world's great authorities on health below the WHO, reported a salmonella outbreak in 30 states in North America due to batches of contaminated ground beef. There were 117 hospitalizations and 6.9 million pounds of meat had to be recalled. Although the incident did not result in any deaths, it did cause major losses for the producing company and affected the health of hundreds of people, which, if not treated in time, would have had serious consequences. In view of the new biosafety needs demanded by the world since the 2020 pandemic, our university course will provide you with tools such as in-depth knowledge of the auditing and certification processes of agri-food raw materials, enabling you to fully meet this transcendental need to ensure health both locally and internationally.
