Unit of Competency | FDFAU4007B - Audit a heat treatment process |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to support a food safety audit that includes heat treatment processes designed to bring about a defined logarithmic reduction of the target organism to ensure safe food. This may include pasteurised product with a nominated refrigerated shelf life and commercially sterile, shelf-stable product. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies to the role of a food safety auditor responsible for auditing heat treatment processes. Audit processes would typically occur within the context of auditing a HACCP-based food safety program that defines related prerequisite program requirements. This unit applies to auditing aspects of the process that directly relate to delivering the prescribed heat treatment. It covers related factors, such as raw materials receival, pre- and post-process storage and packaging methods and materials only to the extent that impact on or are controlled by the heat treatment process.It supports relevant legislation such as food standards contained in the Food Standards Code and industry codes of practice relating to the validation and verification of a HACCP-based food safety program, and should be read in conjunction with these documents.Both regulatory and commercial audit system owners may specify additional certification requirements of auditors eligible to audit food safety programs within their system.Where an auditor is responsible for auditing heat treatment as part of a cook chill process, they will also need to achieve competence in FDFAU4006A Audit a cook chill process. | ||
