Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to implement and review the standards and procedures for receiving and preparing milk for product manufacture. This unit applies to individuals who are responsible for maintaining product safety, quality and efficiency in the dairy processing sector, utilising knowledge of food science and processes to determine the required food safety, quality and performance of food production equipment. No 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.
