Course Description
The Food Safety course program offers a thorough exploration of essential food safety principles and practices. Students will learn about managing bloodborne pathogens, implementing Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), and adhering to critical food safety standards such as BRCGS. Canadian research highlights the importance of these practices: the Canadian Food Inspection Agency reports that proper GMPs can reduce food safety incidents by up to 30%. Additionally, a study by the Public Health Agency of Canada found that organizations with robust food safety programs experience up to a 50% decrease in foodborne illness outbreaks. This course equips students with the knowledge to significantly improve food safety standards, protect public health, and ensure compliance with Canadian regulations.
