Be one of the first to take this International Training Course in Meat Safety Assurance

The Meat Safety Assurance System: From Farm to Fork (MSAS) course is an online, hybrid, cohort-based course delivered over 12 weeks. The course, therefore, approaches meat safety assurance as an integrated system rather than presenting HACCP as a static compliance tool. Participants gain the skills to design, evaluate, and manage comprehensive meat safety systems, addressing the foundations of meat safety assurance, production systems, and supply-chain hazards and risks across the sector. Topics include: microbiological hazards, chemical residues, environmental contaminants, food allergens, animal welfare, slaughter hygiene, process controls, official controls, risk-based meat inspection and traceability, antimicrobial resistance, One Health, sustainability, emerging technologies, risk communication, and policy integration. It also promotes a holistic, risk-based perspective by integrating risk assessment and management, official controls, and evidence-based decision-making within the US, EU, UK, and international regulatory frameworks.
