The American Feed Industry Association is hosting a Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance Preventive Controls (FSPCA) for Animal Food training. Attendees will receive a FSPCA PCQI certificate after completion of the course. The training was developed by the FSPCA and is the “standardized curriculum” the Food and Drug Administration recognizes as adequate for PCQI training. Successfully completing this course is one way to meet the requirements for a PCQI. Facility quality and regulatory employees who will be designated PCQIs at the facility or part of a PCQI team should attend as well as anyone seeking to understand more about FSMA animal food rule. Participants should leave the training with a better understanding of how to create a food safety plan specific to their facility.

• Overview of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requirements for animal food,
• Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements,
• Animal food safety hazards,
• Overview of the food safety plan,
• Hazard analysis and preventive controls determination,
