The course focuses on the evaluation of the chemical and microbiological safety of food. Students will learn about the main groups of undesirable chemicals and microorganisms that may be present in food and food raw materials. Methods of determination and interpretation of results in the context of current Czech and EU legislation are also briefly introduced. Options for prevention, reduction or removal of these contaminants from the food chain are also included.

The course 'Fundamentals of Food Safety' is taught through a combination of lectures and seminars. These sessions are designed to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical examples from the fields of chemical and microbiological food safety. Theoretical lectures are complemented by case studies and discussion of real-life cases to encourage active student involvement. During the semester, students prepare a presentation on a given topic, which they then present to their classmates in seminars. This presentation constitutes the basis for the award of credit.

The course ends with a credit and a written examination. In order to obtain credit, it is necessary to prepare and present a paper on the assigned topic. The examination is written and consists of two parts - chemical and microbiological. Each part is assessed separately, and the average of the two assessments determines the final exam grade. If one of the parts is graded F, the whole exam is failed, but only the part in which the student failed must be repeated. Last update: Pulkrabová Jana (14.04.2025)
