The Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-based Preventive Controls
for Human Food regulation (referred to as the “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 (PCQI)”. This course, developed by Food Safety Preventive Controls
Alliance (FSPCA) as the “standardized curriculum” is recognized by FDA and successful
completion is a recommended way to meet FDA’s requirement that each food manufacturing
facility producing any type of human food to be sold in the US market have a food safety plan
overseen and managed by a PCQI.
Our seminar will cover detailed scientific and practical information on the hazards associated
with foods, food ingredients, raw materials, packaging and processing as well as the
requirements of the PCHF regulation. Working exercises will test your understanding of the
training material and will include being able to draft certain parts of the PCHF-required Riskbased Hazard Analysis incorporating Preventive Controls.
Upon satisfactory course completion, students will receive an official FSPCA and FDArecognized certificate documenting the successful completion of the training workshop.
