This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to label foods according to legislative requirements.

The unit applies to individuals who have responsibility for maintaining the product safety, quality and legislative requirements for labelling.

No occupational licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. However, legislative and regulatory requirements for food processing exist, so local requirements must be checked. All work must comply with Australian food safety standards and relevant codes of practice.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts.
