Food hygiene

Information from the course leader

Välkomna till kursen 'Livsmedelshygien' som är den andra kursen inom magisterprogrammet i livsmedelstillsyn.

Merparten av undervisningen kommer att ske på distans. En del praktiska moment kommer dock att ingå (t ex laborationer och tentamen) och förläggs då till Campus Uppsala.

Vid frågor kan du kontakta mig via karin.soderqvist@slu.se

Frågor som handlar om registrering och dylikt kan ställas till us-husdjur@slu.se

Med vänliga hälsningar

Prior knowledge

Knowledge corresponding to 180 credits, of which 90 credits in one of the following fields of study: biology, animal science, food science, nutrition, public health science, medicine, environmental science, chemistry, food and meal science, dietary science.



The prerequisite can also be met in other ways that provide equivalent knowledge.

Objectives

After completing the course, the student should be able to:

- assess the factors in food that affects the growth and survival of microorganisms and the destructive and harmful properties of the organisms

- demonstrate the ability to evaluate methods for preventing microbial problems in food

- describe hygienic analysis of food and demonstrate the ability to interpret analytical results

- account for risk assessment and risk management and demonstrate the ability to evaluate quality management systems

Content

The course is divided into three parts:



Basic microbiology and food microbiology:

- basic microbiology

- factors affecting the survival and growth of micro - organisms in food

- presence of microorganisms in different types of food

- microbial spoilage of food and the organisms that cause it

- food microbiological analyzes



Food hygiene and foodborne pathogens:

- spread / contamination of microorganisms in food

- important pathogenic microorganisms and the diseases they cause

- toxins and allergens in food

- food hygiene and methods of protecting and storing food



HACCP:

- risk assessment and risk management as well as quality management systems, primarily HACCP

Formats and requirements for examination

Oral, practical and written exams and work reports.

Passed exams and presentations of assignments as well as approved attendance at compulsory parts of the course.
  • If the student fails a test, the examiner may give the student a supplementary assignment, provided this is possible and there is reason to do so.
  • If the student has been granted special educational support because of a disability, the examiner has the right to offer the student an adapted test, or provide an alternative assessment.
  • If changes are made to this course syllabus, or if the course is closed, SLU shall decide on transitional rules for examination of students admitted under this syllabus but who have not yet passed the course.
