Food Safety Solutions Consultants Announces Vital PCQI Course in Honolulu, Hawaii
HONOLULU (PRWEB) May 15, 2018 -- The Food Safety Solutions Consultants, a leading international food safety consulting company specializing in creating a global culture of food safety, has announced a July instructor-led Preventive Controls Qualified Individual course (PCQI) for Human Food, on location in Honolulu, Hawaii. This course is essential for those in the food industry to meet compliance established by the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Preventive Controls for Human Food.
FSMA Requirements
The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Preventive Controls for Human Food became final September 2016, requiring food facilities to establish and implement a written food safety plan, preventive controls, hazard analysis, a recall plan, and more. This plan must be prepared and maintained by a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI). A PCQI indicates a qualified individual has completed training in the development and application of risk-based preventive controls, enabling an individual to develop and execute a food safety system.
PCQI Advantage
The PCQI training course will be held July 25-27 in Honolulu, Hawaii, taught by a leading food industry expert from Food Safety Solutions Consultants whose team members are Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) Lead Instructors. The course was developed by the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) as the only “standardized curriculum” recognized by the FDA.
“Our courses are unique because our Lead Instructors are site consultants who have experience developing and implementing the Preventive Controls inside a processing facility, perform safe handling practices for restaurants, and apply Good Agricultural Practices on the farm,” said Hunter Young, Founder and CEO, Food Safety Solutions Consultants. “We realize the challenges and concerns food professionals face in Hawaii, thus, by providing local PCQI Lead Instructors, we are able to offer expertise ranging from locally grown produce, ice cream, bakeries, seafood, and breweries to services encompassing the complete supply chain. In addition, we work closely with local food clients offering safety compliance solutions, education, information, prevention, and necessary certification, at their facility.”
Registration
The July training course in Honolulu will enable food processors, manufacturers, distributors, and packaging companies based in the Hawaiian Islands to obtain a PCQI. Online registration is available now on the Food Safety Solutions Consultants website. Learning more about PCQI key requirements, compliance dates, and preventive controls for Human Food enables the food industry to place great value on food safety while learning how to establish vital food safety systems today, and in the future.
