TechHelp Offers Seafood HACCP and FSPCA Workshops

The University of Idaho Extension’s TechHelp has announced two upcoming training workshops in Boise, Idaho:

• Seafood HACCP Segment II, May 6, 2016, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. This workshop is for seafood processor personnel who develop, reassess and modify a facility’s HACCP Plan and manage verification activities. Those who complete this accredited course will receive a certificate from AFDO demonstrating compliance with the FDA Seafood HACCP Regulation training requirements (21 CFR 123.10). This course will ensure your company is meeting FDA requirements and help you avoid regulatory citations and costly legal issues. Participants will be trained through a combination of discussions, PowerPoint presentations, and developing seafood HACCP plans. Attendees will be given feedback on their performance during the case studies and suggestions for developing their company’s HACCP system. Cost $325.00.

• FSPCA Preventive Controls for Human Food Course, May 23-25, 2016, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. on days 1 & 2; 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. on day 3. The new FSMA regulation requires every processing facility to have a trained resource person or “Preventive Controls Qualified Individual”  who has completed a specialized training course such as the one developed by the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA)   that is recognized by the FDA. This person will oversee the implementation of the facility’s food safety plan and other key tasks. (See 21CFR117.180 (c) (1)) Our Partnership * will offer our 2.5-day FSPCA course on May 23-25 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Idaho Falls. Cost $695.00. For more information and registration, visit http://www.techhelp.org/events/255/fspca-preventive-controls-for-human-food-course-idaho-falls/.
