Lesson 1Hazard analysis for frozen ready meals: biological, chemical, physical hazards to considerThis part guides you through danger check for frozen ready meals, covering germ, chemical, and physical dangers, their sources, seriousness, chance, and how findings go into control steps and CCP choices in Uganda.
