A set of online courses is available for food professionals who need a clearer understanding of food chemistry and the analytical considerations that influence product compliance and consumer information. These sessions focus on how chemical testing underpins labelling accuracy, risk management and regulatory confidence across the food supply chain.
The topics include an introduction to nutritional analysis and what to expect, providing an overview of nutrient testing and data interpretation; meat and fish content analysis for labelling, exploring species content, quantification and compositional claims; and understanding contaminant and pesticide risks in food, covering sources, exposure routes and the role of testing in monitoring and control.
These food chemistry topics complement the separate pages covering food safety principles, food microbiology and specific microorganisms, enabling technical and quality teams to build a rounded understanding of how analytical testing supports food safety, authenticity and compliance.
