The U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) mandates every food processing facility to have a trained resource person or “Preventive Controls Qualified Individual“ (PCQI), who has completed a FDA recognized curriculum course such as the one developed by the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA), that is recognized by the FDA. Its intention is to ensure that there is safe manufacturing/processing, packing and holding of food products for human consumption in the United States.

The regulation requires that the written food safety plan required of food facilities must be prepared, or its preparation overseen by a “PCQI” who has successfully completed training in the “development and application of risk-based preventive controls”.

This course provided by BSI is developed based on the FSPCA’s “standardized curriculum” recognized by FDA with some modification approved by FSPCA for better learning experience. Delegates who successfully complete this course receive a certificate issued by the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) and become a PCQI.
