Safe Food Resources: HACCP Certification

Course Content

With the signing of the Food Safety Modernization Act, many food manufacturers are converting their food safety programs from a HACCP Based System to the Preventive Controls. However, depending on your particular food products and 3rd party auditing scheme, you may still be required to develop and maintain a HACCP Based system.
