Scientific expiration date setting explanation

Explanations focusing on "How to proceed with accelerated testing using concrete examples"

Setting food expiration dates scientifically is one way of guaranteeing quality.

It is the responsibility of businesses to set appropriate expiration dates from the perspective of reducing food waste while also considering customer safety.

In addition, the "Guidelines for Setting Food Expiration Date Labeling" jointly administered by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries requires that expiration dates be set by using numerical indicators obtained from "physical and chemical tests," "microbiological tests," and "sensory tests" and judging the data comprehensively.

コース概要

1. Guidelines for setting deadlines (Codex, domestic)
2. Industry associations' views
3. Objective items (indicators) for determining food deterioration

4. Concept of preservation test
5. Overview of Physicochemical Tests in Deadline Setting
6. Overview of sensory evaluation
7. Accelerated Testing Concept

8. Setting deadlines through accelerated testing and case studies (data analysis method using the Arrhenius equation)

9. Set deadlines using challenge tests

10. Using predictive microbiology models to set deadlines

特 典

We provide an Excel sheet that can automatically calculate the expiration date you want to set using the Arrhenius equation.

Lecturer brief history

Food Safety Technology Center

Visiting Professor, Niigata University of Food and Agriculture

Visiting Researcher, Ritsumeikan University

He is an expert in food safety technology, with a particular focus on microbiological quality assurance.

As a microbiologist and quality assurance manager at a major food manufacturer, he utilizes his knowledge of predictive microbiology in food microbial detection and control technology and sterilization engineering to set and validate conditions for heat sterilization of tea beverages, canned coffee, retort foods, etc., and evaluates them through challenge tests using potentially harmful bacteria such as botulinum.

Currently, while training a large number of HACCP managers and PCQI preventive management qualified individuals, he emphasizes the importance of establishing solid scientific evidence.

We support the visualization of trust through the accumulation of food safety measures based on scientific evidence and the development of human resources who can take responsibility for food safety.

They also provide advice such as suggesting improvements to formulations to increase shelf life and reviewing hygiene management to improve profits.

Advisor to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries FCP, Advisor to the Tokyo Keiken-in Foundation, Principal Auditor for ISO 22000 (IRCA), etc.
