INTRODUCTION
The food & beverage industry is a key player in
the Nigerian Economy as the sector is a major employer of labour. Moreover food
and beverage have direct health implications on the consumers.
More importantly is the recent pressure on the sector
to increase it’s contribution to foreign exchange earnings of the country.
Therefore, it is imperative to constantly nurture this sector of the Nigerian
economy through constant monitoring and improvement of product quality and
safety.
Quality is an indispensable tool in the food &
beverage industry. It cuts across the entire food handling process ranging from
the raw materials, production, storage and distribution. For a product to gain
consumer acceptance amidst other rivals and still maintain it’s place in the
market, such product must continually undergo quality improvement measures.
The appreciation and understanding of the importance
of quality are the propelling forces behind this carefully packaged training
workshop by the Nigerian Institute of Food Science & Technology (NIFST).
The Institute is the only professional umbrella for all practicing food
professionals in the food & beverage industry, regulatory agencies,
academic and research institutions in Nigeria actively involved in
skillful and consistent manpower development.
Quality Assurance puts criteria in place to monitor
and verify that a company is providing the best quality possible and at the
same time show compliance with regulatory and customer requirements. While,
HACCP implementation leads to greater control and closer security of the food
production process, which will result to improvements in product quality.

industry, regulatory agencies; academic and research institutions will benefit
tremendously from this training workshop on Total Quality Management in the
