Description
Does your company export food products to the USA?
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 (PCHF ) regulation) is intended to ensure safe manufacturing/processing, packing and holding of food products for human consumption in the United States. PCHF regulation is applicable to any processor/ manufacturer of food that is going to be sold in the US, unless exempted.
The regulation states that anyone working with food that will be sold in the US must develop and implement a "Food Safety Plan" that must be in compliance with the requirements of the regulation, as applicable to any company.
The Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation requires that certain activities, including the Food Safety Plan Development, must be completed by a “preventive controls qualified individual” (PCQI) who has “successfully completed training in the development and application of risk-based preventive controls”. By taking the course you will meet the requirements for a preventive controls qualified individual (PCQI).
