Intentional Adulteration Class

Conducting Vulnerability Assessments Course (FSPCA Curriculum)

This “live” intentional adulteration class is taught by a qualified FSPCA lead instructor that has gone through a qualification process which includes a review of professional food defense experience, an entrance exam and a presentation skills assessment. Training topics include: Conducting vulnerability assessments using the 3 element method ( severity and scale of public impact, degree of physical access and ability to contaminate the product) as well as the hybrid approach.

Attendees are strongly encouraged to take the FSPCA online Key Activity Types course before attending this course. The KAT course can be found here.

Course Description

Individuals who complete the intentional adulteration class will get a certificate from FSPCA which will be recognized by FDA for meeting the requirements of having a qualified individual responsible for conducting vulnerability assessments and mitigating intentional adulteration risks.

This FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) final rule is aimed at preventing intentional adulteration from acts intended to cause wide-scale harm to public health, including acts of terrorism targeting the food supply. Rather than targeting specific foods or hazards, this rule requires mitigation (risk-reducing) strategies for processes in certain registered food facilities. This course is taught by Lead Instructors trained by the FSPCA, who have been instructed in how to teach the FDA-recognized standardized curriculum.
