Do not miss the opportunity that TECH offers you and enroll in this postgraduate certificate. It will make the difference in your professional skills” 

The TECH Technological University program in Traceability in the Food Industry focuses on the traceability of the entire production process in food industry factories, oriented, therefore, towards the comprehensive management of food safety for consumption. 

This postgraduate certificate covers relevant concepts in food safety, focusing on the production of animal and vegetable-based raw materials. Differentiated quality seals are studied, as well as the auditing and certification processes of agri-food industries. 

In addition, it establishes internal audit and certification systems used in the agri-food industry, the agencies involved in these processes and their regulations; it also analyzes the differentiated quality seals and the production requirements that these foods must meet. It should be borne in mind that the food crises that have occurred in recent decades at European and world level have demonstrated the need for systems to identify, locate and withdraw products that could represent a food safety risk and a danger to the health of the population. 

Every company in the food industry is required to have a food safety plan, which makes it essential for the members of the quality department team to know each of the phases of the HACCP system, including batch traceability. 

For this reason, this program offers professionals a solid foundation of skills and abilities that will allow them to develop and implement traceability plans in the various food sectors in the industry. 

This postgraduate certificate is taught by university professors and professionals from various disciplines in primary production, the use of analytical and instrumental techniques for quality control, the prevention of accidental and intentional contamination and fraud, food safety/food integrity and traceability (food defense and food fraud/food authenticity). It is an educational project committed to training high quality professionals.
