DFW: FSPCA Preventive Controls Training (PCQI)
Event Details
The Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-based Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation (referred to as the Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation) is intended to ensure safe manufacturing/processing, packing and holding of food products for human consumption in the United States. The regulation requires that certain activities must be completed by a “preventive controls qualified individual” who has “successfully completed training in the development and application of risk-based preventive controls.” The PCQI is responsible for oversight of the written food safety plan at their respective dairy processing facility.
The course offered by Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin follows the FSPCA standardized curriculum recognized by FDA; successfully completing this course is one way to meet the requirements for a “preventive controls qualified individual.”
These courses will be strictly dairy industry based, with all exercise materials focusing on dairy products. These working exercises are designed to provide practical details covering all the required components of the written food safety plan mandated within the Preventive Controls for Human Food [PCHF] rule.
