This course will provide an overview of preventive control considerations that supports the FSMA Final Rules for Preventive Controls for Human and Animal Food. Identifying the appropriate preventive control is critical in preventing the hazard from occurring and is a pillar concept behind the new FSMA Preventive Control Rules. An overview of preventive controls will be discussed including process controls, food allergen controls, sanitation controls, supply-chain controls, recall plans, and the relationship of preventive controls and critical control points (CCPs).
If you would like to take part 2, please make sure you take the asynchronous part 1 course before taking part 2. In order to receive a certificate from the FSPCA, course requires completion of an asynchronous online portion of Preventive Controls for Human Foods part 1.
Successful completion of FSPCA Preventive Controls for Human Food requires attendance at all sessions. Upon completion of this course you will obtain your PCQI certificate.
