COURSE DESCRIPTION
FSMA Preventive Controls for Human Food (PCQI) Version 2.0! 2.5 Day Course.
FSPCA, in conjunction with FDA, has released the Preventive Controls for Human Food Curriculum 2.0 which was developed to address the evolving needs of the food industry and incorporate lessons learned since the original curriculum’s implementation. Advances in science and risk management practices have highlighted areas where additional guidance and updated methods are essential for effective food safety. The new curriculum refines preventive controls by including clearer examples, updated hazard analyses exercises with revised model food plans, knowledge checks (tests), and best practices to streamline compliance with the latest regulatory requirements.
