Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to implement and review processes for manufacturing, packaging and testing of beverage products. This unit applies to individuals who use knowledge of food science and processes to assess product safety, quality and efficiency of production processes in the beverage sector. 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.
