Preventive Controls Qualified Individual Training: Preventive Controls for Human Food

January 7 - January 9, 2019

Preventive Controls Qualified Individual Training: Preventive Controls for Human Food

This 2.5 day Class will fulfill FDA Requirements for FSMA Qualified Individual Training.

The Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-based Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation is intended to ensure safe manufacturing/processing, packing and holding of food products for human consumption in the United States. The regulation requires that certain activities must be completed by a "preventive controls qualified individual" who has "successfully completed training in the development and application of risk-based preventive controls". This course developed by the FSPCA is the "standardized curriculum" recognized by FDA; successfully completing this course is one way to meet the
requirements for a "preventive controls qualified individual."

Course description provided b y the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance

The course is ideally suited for:
  • Federal Regulators/Inspectors
  • State Regulators/Inspectors
  • Management
  • Production

  • Maintenance Personnel
These courses are taught by Lead Instructors trained by the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA), who have been instructed in how to teach the FDA-recognized standardized curriculum. CCE Harvest NY's Barbara Williams will be one of the instructors at this event.

Announcements

New York Urban Farms Sustainable Pest Management Fact Sheet Series

Cornell Cooperative Extension has partnered with dozens of urban farms across New York State to demonstrate and evaluate sustainable pest management strategies. Together with farmers, we found success using control methods that prevent or reduce crop losses through exclusion strategies, crop timing, host resistance, the introduction of beneficial organisms, and more. Regardless of management strategy used, common requirements for success include a knowledge of the pest and disease complex, preventative deployment and commitment to the process. The New York Urban Farms Sustainable Pest Management Fact Sheet Series includes case studies highlighting pest management techniques that New York urban farms have found valuable.
