Food Manufacturing Technology
Recognition of Achievement
Overview
The Food Manufacturing Technology ROA provides the student with emphasis in food manufacturing operations. This ROA prepares students for careers in production supervision, and process development.
Information Session
New students are invited to attend an information session.
Entry Requirements
The student must have an Ontario Secondary Diploma with a majority of senior credits at the
College Preparation (C), University Preparation (U) or University/College Preparation (M) level.
Mature students (age 19 or older) with work experience are considered on that basis, but are
advised to take College/University Prep to upgrade their knowledge in English, chemistry, biology
and mathematics as required.
Curriculum
This course discusses the needs for and benefits of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point System (HACCP). Principles, basic steps and learn responsibilities in the development of a HACCP plan are emphasized. This course also provides an introduction to steps in conducting a hazard analysis, identifying critical control points, establishing record keeping procedures, monitoring and corrective actions. Also discussed are food industry requirements in relation to HACCP Plans and how SOPs are necessary before developing a HACCP plan. (Lectures only)
In this course students gain a thorough understanding of sanitation principles and programs and on developing an appreciation for the causes and effects of unsanitary conditions, how to resolve them, and how to maintain a sanitary plant. Topics covered include hazards to food safety; the relationship of microorganisms to sanitation; personal hygiene and sanitary food handling; cleaning and sanitizing operations; cleaning compounds; sanitizers; sanitary design and construction of food facilities; waste product disposal, and pest control. (Lectures only)
The course introduces basic food processing and product development techniques and related theoretical concepts. Topics covered include: processing by application of heat, freezing, dehydration; fermentation technology; sensory evaluation techniques and application. (Lecture only)
