Internal auditing is one of the main requirements for a food safety management system (FSMS) and the most effective way to evaluate its effectiveness. Once a food safety management system is in place and implemented, the only way to verify that all requirements of the system are being implemented correctly is through an internal auditing program.
The following course will provide you with the knowledge to conduct an internal food safety audit against any GFSI approved food safety standards; including FFSC 22000, BRC, SQF and IFS.
