Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to implement and review the manufacture of chocolate. This unit applies to individuals who use knowledge of food science and processes to determine the required food safety, quality and performance of food production equipment. No occupational licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, legislative and regulatory requirements for food processing exist, so local requirements must be checked. All work must comply with Australian food safety standards and relevant codes of practice.
