Food pathogens that have caused recalls and outbreaks can periodically be found in food production environments. At times, these pathogens are deeply hidden in equipment and other areas, where they cannot be moved by routine sanitation. The FSMA Preventive Controls for Human Food rule requires producers of ready to eat (RTE) foods to implement and manage an EMP to monitor the RTE environment and reduce contamination risks. Our course will show you how to meet this FSMA requirement.PrerequisitesIt is recommended that students taking this course have prior knowledge of:Hazard analysisPreventive controlsBasic food microbiologyFood safety management Important: Only the softcopy of the course material will be distributed on the day of training. Thus participants are reminded to bring along their laptop for the duration of the training.

This one-day training programme provides an introduction to FSSC 22000 Version 7, published on 1 May 2026, with a transition deadline set for 1 May 2027. Designed as an awareness-level session, the training aims to equip participants with a clear understanding of the updated scheme requirements and their implications for existing food safety management systems.The programme will cover the key changes introduced in Version 7, including enhanced requirements and new focus areas that reflect current industry expectations and global food safety challenges. In addition, the training will provide an overview of the ISO 22002-x Prerequisite Programme (PRP) series, highlighting their structure, sector-specific applications, and critical role in supporting effective hazard control within the food safety management system.Participants will gain insight into how PRPs integrate with HACCP principles and ISO 22000 requirements, as well as practical considerations for implementation and compliance. This training serves as a foundational step for organizations preparing for the transition to Version 7, enabling them to identify potential gaps and plan for a smooth and effective upgrade of their systems.

Since 1 June 2020, the provision under Section 17A MACC Act 2009 is a provision that stipulates a corporate liability principle where a commercial organization can be considered guilty if any of its employees and/or associates commit corruption for the benefit of the organization.The organization involved in corruption activities to be subjected to legal action and persons associated with the organization would be deemed to commit the corresponding offence unless it can be proven that adequate procedures have been put in place.In light of the above, senior management and team must be aware and keep abreast with the requirements of the Section 17A of the MACC Act 2009 to ensure that their commercial organization's adequate procedures, anti-corruption programme and policies are well adopted, implemented and enforced.

On 31 March 2023, the Foundation FSSC published Version 6 of the FSSC 22000 scheme. FSSC, as the leading brand in Food Safety Management Systems, provides trust and delivers impact to the consumer goods industry.FSSC schemes support the consumer goods industry in implementing effective management systems, protecting their brands, and achieving food safety targets.

The first audits to V6 will commence from 1 April 2024 onwards, and all organizations shall complete the V6 upgrade audit before 31 March 2025

The Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk‐based Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation (referred to as the Preventive Controls for Human Food regulation) is intended to ensure safe manufacturing/processing, packing and holding of food products for human consumption in the United States. The regulation requires that certain activities must be completed by a “preventive controls qualified individual.” This course, developed by FSPCA, is the “standardized curriculum” recognized by FDA; successfully completing this course is one way to meet the requirements for a “preventive controls qualified individual.”
