Abstract

The partner in this activity were the Culinary Entrepreneurs of the Region IV-Banten “Lembaga Barisan Muda Wirausaha Indonesia”. Most of the total members of the Region IV-Banten “Lembaga Barisan Muda Wirausaha Indonesia” are engaged in the culinary industry. However, only a small number already have food registration certificate from local health department and National Food and Drug Agency (BPOM). One of the requirements for applying for food registration certificate is to obtain a Food Safety Counseling certification of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP). The solution offered in this activity is to provide offline and online training through Zoom meetings media regarding the food labeling and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) training so our partner can apply food registration certificate easily. Due to the pandemic conditions, the proposing team carried out activities offline and online. Offline activities are carried out by adhering to health protocols. The methods used in this activity were socialization of food registration certification regulations to the partners, and training on labeling of processed food products, training on good manufacturing practices (GMPs), and evaluation of the training provided. The socialization activity was carried out on Saturday, February 27, 2021 at the Ar Rahman Training Center BSD-South Tangerang.
