Food Safety Preventive Controls – FDA

Description

Does your company have a Food Safety Preventive Controls Qualified Individual on site to help with FSPCA Training?

The FDA Preventive Controls Rule for Human Food has been in place since September 2016. It is imperative to understand expectations through this course to enable a functioning program.

The Hazard-Analysis and Preventive Controls Rule of the US Food and Drug Administration indicates only a qualified individual can appropriately manage a food safety preventive controls program.   Does this apply to you?

If your facility is required to register with the FDA under section 415 of the Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act, you must comply if your activities include manufacturing, processing, packing or holding human food.

Many activities required by law can only be conducted or overseen by a qualified individual. This is not the same as a HACCP-certified individual. This requires more to be in compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act Rules. The FDA will begin enforcement of the Preventive Controls Rule for Human Food in September 2016.  It is imperative to understand expectations through this course to enable a functioning program before that time.

This 2.5 day course, developed by the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance, uses the ONLY curriculum recognized by the FDA to meet requirements. Successful completion results in participants’ qualification as a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual, who can design, implement, and maintain the company Food Safety Plan. The course will be taught by a Lead Instructor for the FSPCA Preventive Controls for Human Food Course.

Training materials include:

• A comprehensive manual with all slides,
• Explanations of key terms and concepts,
• Example model Food Safety Plans
• An exercise workbook with all sample forms
  Reference material to help you communicate requirements to your staff

Participants will receive their official FSPCA Preventive Controls Qualified Individual certificate.
