    This course, developed by the FSPCA, is the standardized curriculum recognized by FDA; successfully completing this course is one way to meet the requirements for a “preventive controls qualified individual” under Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 507 (21 CFR Part 507). The Preventive Controls for Animal Food rule is intended to ensure safe manufacturing, processing, packaging and holding of animal food products in the United States. The Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) originated in 2011 and is a collaboration of the FDA and academia to standardize an education/training program, providing the technical knowledge to the industry on how to work towards compliance with the Preventive Control ruling. The core components of the course are listed below: Distinguish between Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs), other prerequisite programs, and preventive controls and where they fit into the regulatory framework. Understand the hazard analysis process and resources to help conduct an analysis. Learn concepts needed to build a food safety plan. Upon the successful completion of the course, participants will meet training requirements for a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) under the Preventive Controls for Animal Food rule and receive a training certificate including the FDA recognition. $895
