Food Defense and Intentional Contamination Prevention

Per FSMA and USDA requirements, companies within the food industry are required to have a comprehensive and actionable Food Defense plan and Vulnerability Assessment.                         

This essential and timely course covers both practical and useful food defence strategies and those measures and methods needed to be ready to deal with an intentional contamination event facing a company.  This course is purposefully designed to assist a company to be compliant with regulatory requirements (FSMA and USDA) and the requirements of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) audit systems (such as SQF, BRC, IFS and FSSC 22,000).
