This two-and-a-half-day workshop will provide participants with the knowledge that is needed to develop a Food Safety Plan to comply with the Hazard Analysis and Risk-based Preventive Controls (HARPC) for Human Foods rule. The course content is focused on the food safety activities and documentation that support the development and implementation of a preventive controls Food Safety Plan. By participating in this workshop you can demonstrate to FDA that your PCQI has taken training based on FDA’s own recognized curriculum developed by the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA).
The FSPCA is a consortium formed by the FDA and the Illinois Institute of Technology’s Institute for Food Safety and Health (IFSH). They have developed a training program that provides essential food safety knowledge and tools necessary for food manufacturers to begin the process of building their Food Safety Plans. Deibel Labs has four associates that attended FSPCA lead instructor training and, as a result, are Food Safety Preventive Controls Lead Instructors. Deibel Labs can provide FDA recognized training to assist companies in complying with FSMA and award certificates to participants that prove PCQI training was obtained following a FDA recognized curriculum.
