Hello anybody,
I'm certain I'g joining a large grouping out in that location trying to understand the requirements of FSMA. My question at this time relates to the Preventative Controls Qualified Private. From the FDA website:
PC.5 What is a preventive controls qualified private?
This is a new term in the last rule. A preventive controls qualified individual is someone who has successfully completed certain preparation in the development and awarding of run a risk-based preventive controls or is otherwise qualified through task experience to develop and apply a food safety organisation. The written nutrient safety plan required of nutrient facilities must exist prepared, or its preparation overseen, by 1 or more than preventive controls qualified individuals. And the preventive controls qualified individual is charged with overseeing the validation that preventive controls are capable of decision-making identified hazards and the records review.
So, is a training course required? Or, is our HACCP Coordinator already sufficiently qualified? We are a small, family unit owned and operated company. The HACCP Coordinator is 1 of the owners, was involved in the evolution of the product, and involved in daily production. We simply don't want to spend the time and money on 2.5 days of training if it is not required.
We are BRC certified (AA on Issue 7). Our HACCP is already based on a hazard analysis format. We are in Canada, but send into the USA as the importer (the production goes to warehouses, from where it is further shipped to the final customer). I just want to exist prepared so we don't have a surprise one day with a truck refused entry at the US border.
As well, does anyone know how we would bear witness compliance? Thank you.
WowQC

"Qualified Individual" preparation must be done separately. The FDA is requiring that this training be done, regardless of whether or not they are HAACP, BRC, or any trained and certified. The establish must have at least 1 person who is a Qualified Individual, merely I would suggest that more would be amend. While it does make provision for people who take become qualified by experience, I would all the same propose the preparation. This is considering FSMA required HARPC is non quite the same equally HAACP and the differences could trip people upwards.

A well trained HACCP Coordinator is a long way to existence qualified but as Johnstuart said there are some differences that demand to be considered.
All the same, there are many grooming options out in that location and more are existence developed so a 2.5 day course may non be needed. Y'all don't provide details on your product and procedure but manufacture associations may have data that could help you decide what is needed or offer preparation.
Take a certificate from a course would go a long way to proving compliance but information technology is really nigh does your documented plan run across the requirements when someone looks at information technology.

The PCQI is similar to the GFSI requirement for a person responsible for the Continual Improvement and Maintenance of the FSMS and QMS. Nether SQF this person is called the SQF Practioner and nether BRC and FSSC 22000 is the Technical Manager. FDA does not mandate the training Certification for PCQI as long as the Organization can evidence the person or the persons overseeing the FSMS and QMS has the training records and documentation required justifying the knowledge of the New Rules. However, Information technology is highly recommended to obtain the PCQI preparation to understand the Methodology of the HARPC Plan and Records in which FDA will await the Organization to have. BRC and FSSC 22000 certifications are the closest standards to encounter FSMA requirements. OPRP's are very like to the Preventive Controls required for the HARPC Plan. You may exist affected by the Foreign Supplier Verification Program; therefore, your requirements for BRC such every bit Internal Audits, Prerequisites Programs under 21 CFR Sec. 117.0 and HARPC and HACCP Plans volition be a big plus. Record Keeping and Corrective Actions and Preventive Deportment Documentation will be a sensitive subject area with FDA. Attached you volition find the FSPCA Course Manual for Preventive Controls.
I suggest to review the FSMA FSVP Rule and the 3rd Party Audit Rule.
I hope this helps,
Kellio

Hi all,
As it is not clear from the replies for wowQC, tin anybody who has washed the training/ or not going for the training assistance??
We are an SQF level ii certified found that exports products to the The states, and nosotros are FSMA compliant. Can the SQF practitioner be the PCQI without grooming? Is the grooming mandatory?
I have seen that the Nutrient Safety Preventive Controls Brotherhood (FSPCA) has partnered with the FDA to develop course curriculum to meet the "Preventive Control Qualified Individual" requirements and is offered by various consultants and trainers. The training elapsing is two.5 -three days.
Other than GFTC, anybody knows other training centres in Toronto?
I hope someone can aid!
Question to WowQC: Did you have the training?

The FDA worked in collaboration with the public and private sector to form the Food Safe Preventive Controls Brotherhood (FSPCA). They in turn developed the simply grooming programme recognized as the standard training program to satisfy the requirement for a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual be on site to develop and manage the Food Safety Programme required under FSMA.
Just a small-scale notation about the Food Safety Program: HACCP is the foundation of the program. From HACCP, the hazard analysis will reveal processes and other areas (such as Supplier Controls) that may not necessarily exist a CCP, merely volition fall under the Preventive Command requirement. All GFSI companies take a HACCP, so enhancing the HACCP to bring it into compliance with the Preventive Controls requirement under FSMA is non all that difficult.
For smaller companies that may not be GFSI certified and who have not implemented a HACCP program, this can be a major undertaking to develop. I would highly recommend that those companies not merely have the course only enlist the help of an outside consultant if, later on taking the course, still experience they demand more than guidance to come into compliance under the ruling and have a Food Safety Plan developed and implemented.
That said, the FSPCA class, Preventive Controls for Homo Food, is the fastest and easiest way to understand the rulings and how to manage the program. While it is not mandatory, it volition be what the FDA uses as the standard with which to evaluate any other claims for qualification.
There are numerous sites to take the Preventive Controls for Human Food form (they must be led by a FSPCA trained Lead Instructor and registered with the FSPCA). As a FSPCA trained Lead Instructor for this course, I would be happy to answer any questions or help y'all notice a class to take. I can exist reached at xxxxxxxxx

Hullo dshapos,
Have a query regarding terminologies in yr Post 7.
You refer to HACCP, GFSI, FSMA.
afaik, there are numerous "flavours" of HACCP.
GFSI's "HACCP" is, i think, alleged to be based on Codex's version of HACCP.
Most US interpretations prior to FSMA, I believe, are based on NACMCF'south version of HACCP.
I had understood that FSMA had invented /nominated HARPC to be their "new" HACCP, eg as per -
http://www.foodonlin...-and-harpc-0001
Merely I note that HARPC is not mentioned either in the FSPCA manual or in your Mail service.
Has something changed regarding the implementation of the FSMA "System" or is my (above) understanding incorrect ?
PS - TBH, my initial reading of the nice Chapter thirteen on Va/Ve in the FSPCA manual was that it looked to be more aligned to USDA/FSIS than FDA, despite USDA facilities being excluded from FSMA's telescopic.
Kind Regards,
Charles.C

Hi Charles C.
The HARPc designation was an early adaptation - since the last dominion and the completion of the FSPCA training course, that terminology is not being used by the FDA when referring to the FSMA Nutrient Safety Plan. In response to your statement near HACCP, yeah, GFSI standards follow the Codex. Under FSMA, the starting foundation of the Food Safety Program is the HACCP, merely you must now include Preventive Controls (some of which are our familiar CCPs) These Preventive controls volition be identified during the risk analysis every bit existence necessary for food prophylactic. They include, simply are not limited to Sanitation, Supplier, Raw Cloth, etc. I cannot address your comment regarding the NACMCF every bit being the foundation of the US HACCP since I have not worked in juice or seafood, which were the categories that previously required a HACCP.

Hi dshapos,
Capeesh yr comments.
To slightly expand haccp history, the FSPCA Manual contains –
In the 1970's, FDA used HACCP principles in the evolution of low-acrid canned food regulations. The Usa National Advisory Commission on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF) and the Codex Alimentarious Commission (Codex) published HACCP principles in the 1900s. FDA has HACCP regulations for seafood and juice products; USDA has HACCP regulations for meat and poultry products.
In fact Seafood haccp was initially based on "Codex haccp" however subsequently some criticisms from advocates of "NACMCF haccp" various textual modifications were included (eg Seafood Final Rule).
1 noticeable difference is that Codex/Seafood haccp/GFSI(i think) makes no use of the term "Control Betoken" whereas NACMCF/USDA-FSIS(I remember) haccp does. But "FSMA-haccp" (F-haccp?) no idea ?
I am rather amazed to learn that the terminology "HARPC" is beingness (quietly?) dumped later on all this time. Admittedly many aspects of F-haccp seem like mixed and regurgitated one-time-haccp (other than F-PRPS perhaps) but it looked logical to at to the lowest degree give the new F-haccp it's ain official acronym.
I had a brief look in the Literature following yr Post and note that "harpc" was still being used in educational manner in March 2016, eg –
http://www.foodproce...a-requirements/
Withal I also noticed this interesting May 2016 commodity (thank you George !) critically discussing various haccp manoueverings within FSMA among which was a section starting –
The fact that more recently we are beingness told to no longer refer to it every bit HARPC simply rather equally PCP (Preventative Controls Program).......
https://safefood360....accp-and-harpc/
Some of the subtleties detailed in 2nd Link were above me but I did go the impression that the basis/presentation of (ex)-harpc methodology continues to be a contentious effect. I quite liked the PCP acronym above but unfortunately this does not occur in the FSPCA manual then is presumably unauthorized.
So what is the electric current preferred terminology to reference F-haccp ? Is it "Preventive Food Safety Plan" (PFSP) as might be inferred from the FSPCA manual ? Seems a bit long-winded.
@scampi, i remember i retrieve FSEP started decades before FSMA / ex-harpc ? Hmmm.
Kind Regards,
Charles.C

Yeah Charles, FSEP has been around for a long time in meat in Canada. It is an easy "guide" to employ for PCP as it explains in generality what is required, it speaks in detail from exterior right through to forgeign fabric and allergen control.

Hi scampi,
Thks for the link.
Indeed it is a very comprehensive/integrated FS program and excellently explained.
The CFIA website has e'er had some of the best examples of haccp plans although they are over-addicted of changing their URLs IMO.
I retrieve FSEP is fundamentally more oriented to NACMCF than Codex, positively in respect to PRPs but (IMO) negatively in respect to PCs.
The but parts of FSEP I don't go for are (a) the innovative use of Operational Prerequisite Programs (not to be confused with ISO's version) and (b) the substantive utilize of PCs. IMO (a) is superfluous and the content might only also hv been composite into the PRP section while (b) is (just similar ISO's OPRP) too cryptic to be a useful role of a haccp plan. I suspect sections (a,b) are specific to the Meat program since I do not call back seeing them developed in the various example haccp plans available on the CFIA website. But my opinion. 
Kind Regards,
Charles.C

There are numerous sites to take the Preventive Controls for Human Food course (they must be led by a FSPCA trained Lead Teacher and registered with the FSPCA). As a FSPCA trained Lead Teacher for this class, I would be happy to answer whatsoever questions or help you observe a course to take. I tin be reached at xxxxxxxxx
I realize this is an older thread but I am looking for help finding a form in or near Buffalo and noticed you are from Buffalo. How tin I accomplish you?

Long Island in a couple of weeks
Cherry Hill, NJ in February
Use the Google and search for FSPCA PCQI Training.
