Food Production Regulations / HACCP, GFSI, FSMA

Catalog description

The regulations governing food production are a necessary part of ensuring safety of our food supply. The primary focus of this course will be for students to learn and apply the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system. Students will explore the relevant elements and the application of both the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Students will evaluate how each regulation can influence the development of a strong quality assurance program within a food production facility. Upon completion of the course, students will be prepared to become HACCP- certified. (The certification is taken outside of the course).
