The session, opened on 9 November in Abidjan and scheduled to run until 13 November, covers health control plans and HACCP principles, according to AIP.
Ivory Coast opened a training course in Abidjan on Monday 9 November to strengthen the skills of its veterinary inspectors in food safety controls. The session, devoted to official health inspections of fish product canneries, runs until 13 November, according to the Ivorian Press Agency (AIP).
Participants are working in particular on analysing health control plans, preparing audit checklists, reviewing documents and observing practices at establishments. The technical adviser to the Minister of Animal and Fisheries Resources, Fadiga Haïda épouse Diarrassouba, said the training should enable inspectors to prepare, conduct and report on audits based on HACCP principles.
A simulated audit under real conditions is planned at SCODI to put the knowledge acquired into practice, identify any non-compliance and formulate recommendations accompanied by follow-up measures. Fadiga Haïda épouse Diarrassouba also called on the inspectors to become a core group of national trainers to pass on their knowledge to colleagues and help harmonise control practices, AIP reports.
