Course description

Investigate the biological threats that challenge food safety and quality across every production stage. This course provides food and beverage processing professionals with a practical understanding of key foodborne pathogens and their impact on food safety. Participants will examine pathogen profiles across bacteria, viruses, and parasites, exploring sources, transmission pathways, growth conditions, and control measures. Through applied learning activities, the course connects scientific concepts to real-world risk management, hygiene practices, and regulatory compliance. By strengthening pathogen identification and prevention skills, learners can better protect consumers, maintain product integrity, and uphold organizational trust.

Skills you will learn:

  • Pathogen profile knowledge
  • Transmission risk control
  • Hygiene compliance
  • Consumer protection

Learning Objectives

Upon completing this course, you will be able to:
  • Build pathogen profile fluency by identifying the core elements used to assess food safety risk and control requirements.
  • Assess food poisoning risks faster by understanding pathogen profiles for key toxin-producing bacteria and their typical sources and controls.
  • Recognize and prevent foodborne infections by applying pathogen profiles for key infection-causing bacteria and how they spread through food systems.
  • Strengthen hazard management by describing pathogen profiles for major foodborne viruses and parasites to improve prevention, response, and compliance.

Who Should Take This Course?

  • QA and food safety staff monitoring contamination.
  • Production supervisors overseeing hygiene.
  • Employees deepening pathogen-hazard knowledge.
