It is taught by a certified Lead Instructor for the FSPCA Preventive Controls for Animal Food, who also has the unique qualification of many years of experience as a food safety professional working with the pet food and animal feed industries. By completing this workshop, you will automatically meet the regulation for a “qualified individual” who can manage a food safety preventive controls program in compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Risk-based Preventive Controls for Food for Animals Rule of the US Food and Drug Administration.

This 3.5-day workshop is a combination of our Food Safety Program/Advanced HACCP and our FSMA vs GFSI: Changes Necessary for Compliance workshop. Classes will focus on a refresher Food Safety HACCP review, current happenings along with an overview of FSMA (PCQI), other FSMA parts and how these fit with GFSI approved schemes. We will examine the changes necessary for complete compliance.
