Demonstrate understanding of advanced concepts used in preservation and packaging for product storage
NZQA suppresses grade rates for low-cohort standards.
This standard asks you to understand how products are preserved (kept fresh) and packaged to stop them going bad during storage and transport around New Zealand. You need to know what causes products to decay, how different preservation and packaging methods work, and what legal and marketing rules apply to product labels.
You describe the links between preservation and packaging methods and the types of decay they prevent, outline legal and marketing labelling requirements, and explain how a specific product could be preserved and packaged effectively.
You explain why preservation and packaging techniques are linked to specific types of decay, justify why particular methods were chosen for a product's storage, and discuss how labelling meets both legal requirements and marketing goals.
You compare and contrast different preservation and packaging approaches for a product, discuss why labelling is legally required in New Zealand, and analyse how marketing labels are strategically used to influence consumers.
