Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to monitor and review production standards and procedures for ice creams and frozen dairy products. The individual is required to use knowledge of food science and processes to determine the required food safety, quality and performance of food production equipment.This unit applies to individuals who are responsible for maintaining product safety, quality and efficiency in the dairy processing sector, and who exercise autonomy in undertaking complex work related to product design, quality assurance and production management. 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.
