Basic

Basic FoSTaC courses are aimed at training food safety supervisors directly involved in handling the food products at the food business premises in various steps of the food value chain. Food handlers who are in direct contact with food are trained about the general hygienic and sanitary practices to be followed by the Food Business operators based on the Schedule 4 of Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of the food businesses) Regulations, 2011.
