This training will address the new FSMA regulation, which requires every covered processing facility to have one trained person as a Qualified Individual to implement and maintain a Food Safety Plan.

Why become a Preventive Control Qualified Individual?

The FSPCA course is the standardized curriculum that FDA considers adequate; taking the FSPCA training meets the requirements in the rule for training as a preventive controls qualified individual.

The definition of a preventive control qualified individual in 21 CFR117.3 of the final preventive controls rule is as follows: Preventive controls qualified individual means a qualified individual who has successfully completed training in the development and application of risk-based preventive controls at least equivalent to that received under a standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by FDA or is otherwise qualified through job experience to develop and apply a food safety system.
