Course Description & Agenda
To comply with the U.S. FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation, each covered food facility must have at least one Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) to prepare and oversee the written food safety plan to ensure the preventive controls are capable of controlling identified hazards.
This 2.5-day course developed by the FSPCA is the “standardized curriculum” recognized by U.S. FDA. Successfully completing this course is one way to meet the requirements for a “preventive controls qualified individual (PCQI)” under the FDA/FSMA Preventive Controls for Human Food Regulation.
