This course was designed to assist food companies in incorporating food safety assurance technologies into the new product development process. Specific information about the sequential product development process, the use of quantitative microbial risk assessment as a tool for assessing and characterizing risk and emphasis on the development of prerequisite programs (Good Manufacturing Practices) as a foundation for the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) concept are addressed. This program focuses on building food safety into the very early stages of the product development process and highlights specific areas of concern.
