From risk identification to competitive advantage
Food allergen management in primary production is becoming an increasingly relevant issue for food safety and access to demanding markets.
This free course is designed to provide a clear, practical, and applicable overview of how to identify, assess, and manage allergen risks at the source, adapting tools commonly used in industry to the reality of primary production.
Who is this course for?
✅ Agricultural producers
✅ Technicians and professionals in the agri-food sector
✅ Quality and food safety managers
✅ Companies seeking to access or remain in international markets
What will you learn?
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Understand how these issues impact international trade
