This course will give an overview of a range of chemical contaminant issues across the food industry. It will be useful for both technical managers responsible for implementing necessary food-safety control measures within their HACCP/pre-requisite programmes as well as for laboratory managers required to provide the necessary analytical support to demonstrate the efficacy of such measures. The course will comprise both presentations and syndicate exercises to enable participants to apply knowledge gained to industrial scenarios. At the end of the course, delegates will have a good understanding of the chemical risks facing the food industry and of approaches needed to assess and deal with the risks involved
