Egypt's National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) head Tarek El-Houby met with representatives from the AUC's School of Continuing Education to discuss collaboration in training and capacity-building for food safety professionals, a statement said. Discussions centred on launching a specialised food safety training programme that includes theoretical and practical modules covering key areas such as food legislation, inspection, auditing, risk assessment, and preventive procedures. It aims to qualify participants to work as food safety inspectors or auditors across the food supply chain, supporting the development and resilience of this vital sector both locally and internationally. El-Houby emphasised the need for collaboration between academic institutions and regulatory bodies to enhance the national food safety system through ongoing education and adherence to international standards.
