Introduction lecture

During my studies, I learned a lot about food safety, , and . Furthermore, I was prepared to work in food safety by, from the get-go, studying in English, working with different cultures and with different studies, by doing cases together. By doing several , I got actual experience, allowing me to compare perfect textbook examples with reality.

Lecture

When you're a food manufacturer, you will have to deal with consumers, suppliers, , and industry standards.

More about this is addressed in the following article ‘Trends in the Global Food Supply Chain‘. Secondly, we discussed the challenges and operations related to certification and how time-consuming and costly certification can be. As well as how iMIS can help out with reducing costs and speeding up the certification process, with the of iMIS in addition. At last, as and food safety are closely related to each other, we discussed the challenges and chances of implementing systems in emerging countries.
