FoodChain ID Certification Solutions recommends that one or more persons from a food operation subject to FSMA Preventive Controls regulation receive FDA-recognized Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) training.

While GFSI-recognized certification programs each have specific food safety training requirements for individuals developing and implementing a site’s food safety management system, the training is not specific to the unique requirements of FSMA regulation.

ACET Global Consulting associates are Lead Instructors for Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) courses, which are courses developed in partnership with the FDA to satisfy training requirements of new U.S. food regulations.

Through FoodChain ID Certification Solutions, ACET Global Consulting offers instruction in the following FSPCA courses:

• Preventive Controls for Human Food
• Preventive Controls for Animal Food
• Foreign Supplier Verification Program
