Der Dutchman | Plain City, Ohio

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requires facilities processing any type of animal food (complete feed or ingredients) to comply with new current good manufacturing practices and to implement a written animal food safety plan developed and overseen by a "preventive controls qualified individual (PCQI)." This course is the standardized training developed by the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA). This training is accepted by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as meeting the requirements of PCQI designation. The course content will provide knowledge of the FSMA animal preventive controls rule, and training for creation of an effective animal food safety plan.

This course is intended for individuals that are designated as a PCQI for their facility.  A certificate of completion will be given by the FSPCA to individuals that attend the course in full. There will be in-class group exercises. This course is offered in collaboration with the American Feed Industry Association.

The course will cover:

  • Overview of the FSMA requirements for animal food
