Cooking (heating) instruction validation

Instruction validation is the use of a methodology, procedure, or protocol to help ensure that the cooking or heating instructions for a food product are developed and tested to achieve a 'safely' heated product for consumers to eat of acceptable quality.

One day practical workshop

Customer feedback has identified the need for a practical cooking instruction validation workshop. Food safety legislation places the responsibility of accurate food labelling with the Food Business Operator.

This workshop will provide learners with the necessary information and skills to validate and generate their own internal cooking instructions. The workshop introduces the concept of cooking instruction validation and enables learners to develop an understanding of all control, monitoring and corrective action procedures to ensure accurate labelling instructions are provided to consumers.

      I thoroughly enjoyed the Cooking Validation course I gained a greater understanding of the legislation surrounding cooking validations and the standard that is required to be upheld. The course highlighted the importance of calibrating cooking equipment and the importance of validating products before a product launch.
