The training focused on introducing participants to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System, and the application of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system in food establishments. The ISO 22000 system is a global standard in food safety that helps companies export their products by examining production stages from raw material intake to the final product.
The training also included educating veterinary doctors on the elements required to implement the HACCP system, its initial steps, and the seven key elements for its application. Additionally, participants were trained on GMP in food manufacturing facilities, factories, restaurants, and all places specialized in food production and preparation. The courses emphasized the principles and steps for manufacturing and preparing food materials of all types, ensuring they are free from pathogens and of high quality to compete in local and international markets.
