Learning unit contents
o Course (including online course):
The theoretical course (32h CT) corresponds to the preparation of the visits and the writing of the report. For each of the four sectors studied, it is a question of understanding the main stages of the process, the main risks to be considered, the control measures to be implemented as well as the associated management reference systems.
The four practical studies on food chain quality and safety management are chosen from the following themes, ensuring a good diversity of sectors and the widest possible sector approach:
- Beef sector (primary production, slaughter, cutting fresh meat, meat preparations);
- Pork industry (primary production, slaughter, cutting fresh meat, meat preparations, meat products);
- Poultry sector (primary production, slaughter, cutting);
- Fishery products sector (fish and aquaculture products, bivalve molluscs);
- Milk and dairy products sector (primary production, drinking milk, condensed milk and milk powders, cheeses and cheese by-products, fats from milk, fermented milks);
- Eggs and egg products sector (primary production + processing);
- Plant products (fruit and vegetable processing);
- Cooked meals;
- Collective catering;
- Distribution ;
- Food for animals ;
- Animal by-products.
o Practicals:
Not applicable.
o Exercises:
The tutorials (32h tutorial) correspond to the preparations and discussions with the teachers before and after the visits.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this course, the student will be able to implement a concrete and practical approach to the management of quality and health safety in the points of production, processing and distribution of foodstuffs.
The student will be able to integrate all the concepts relating to the management of the quality and safety of foodstuffs, throughout the food chain and to choose the most appropriate standards to implement them.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basic knowledge of biology and chemistry as well as notions related to good hygiene practices and the creation of a HACCP plan are necessary for a good understanding of the course.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
This Teaching Unit focuses on several themes related to the food production, processing and distribution sector. Each theme is covered over a week in several phases: preparation of the visit by the students at home, discussion with the teachers, field visit, preparation of the report at home by the students and discussion with the teachers. .e.s.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Blended learning
