The workshop concludes with an interactive exchange with participants, focusing on real-world experiences, open questions, regulatory outlooks and practical strategies for risk mitigation.Target AudienceThis workshop is aimed at chocolatiers, cocoa traders, manufacturers, quality managers, and food safety professionals. This session equips you with the knowledge needed to protect product quality, ensure compliance,informed sourcing and processing decisions in an increasingly regulated market.
