Schemes Description
FoSTaC offers a variety of training courses in three levels: Basic, Advanced, and Special. The Basic level course is mandatory for all FBOs having a central or state license. The Advanced and Special level courses are optional and are designed to provide FBOs with in-depth knowledge on specific food safety topics.
FoSTaC training is delivered through a network of government-approved training providers. The training is typically conducted in a classroom setting, but online and blended learning options are also available.
Upon successful completion of the FoSTaC training, participants are awarded a certificate from FSSAI. The certificate is valid for five years and must be renewed by completing a refresher course.
FoSTaC is a valuable program that helps FBOs to improve their food safety practices. By participating in FoSTaC training, FBOs can help to reduce the risk of foodborne illness and protect the health of consumers.
Here are some of the benefits of participating in FoSTaC training:
Improved food safety practices: FoSTaC training provides FBOs with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement and maintain food safety management systems in their businesses. This can help to reduce the risk of foodborne illness and protect the health of consumers.
Increased customer confidence: Customers are more likely to patronize businesses that have demonstrated their commitment to food safety. FoSTaC certification is a visible sign that a business is taking steps to ensure the safety of its food products.
Compliance with regulations: FSSAI requires all FBOs having a central or state license to have at least one trained and certified food safety supervisor. FoSTaC training can help FBOs to meet this requirement.
Improved business performance: Food safety is an essential part of a successful food business. FoSTaC training can help FBOs to improve their food safety practices, which can lead to improved business performance.
If you are an FBO, I encourage you to consider participating in FoSTaC training. It is a valuable investment that can help you to improve your food safety practices, increase customer confidence, and improve your business performance.
