A sample that is not representative, is contaminated during collection, loses its chain of custody or warms in transit can undo an enforcement case. This course takes inspectors through each step, from planning a representative sample to handover at the laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelegates complete a supervised practical sampling assessment marked out of 100 and a written exam, and must pass both. The delegate workbook holds a blank sample withdrawal record that your authority can reuse, and the practical assessment criteria. A slide deck with notes, the trainer's exam pack with answer key and practical notes, and a certificate template that records training given by your organisation complete the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSampling plans for prepackaged food refer to GSO 1000 (2024 edition), and the sample-size slide is left for the trainer to complete from the organisation's own copy of the standard. General principles follow Codex CXG 50, with other GSO sampling standards for bulk commodities such as cereals. Standards are referenced by number and title only, and no standard text is included. AGS is independent and is not affiliated with any food control authority, standards body or the Codex Alimentarius Commission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat this course covers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy sampling matters:\u003c\/strong\u003e what a poor sample costs an investigation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRules, roles and records:\u003c\/strong\u003e the sample controller, the sealed duplicate and the sample form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSampling plans and statistics:\u003c\/strong\u003e representative sampling, with worked calculations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMethods by situation:\u003c\/strong\u003e choosing the right method for the product and setting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAseptic technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e sterilisation and contamination control during collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdentification and chain of custody:\u003c\/strong\u003e labelling, sealing and the custody sequence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCold chain and dry ice:\u003c\/strong\u003e keeping samples at the right temperature in transit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLaboratory receipt:\u003c\/strong\u003e handover checks and commodity notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood inspectors, sampling officers and laboratory liaison staff in food control authorities, with Gulf sampling practice as the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Food Import \u0026amp; Export Inspection Training Package covers sampling as one topic among many.
