Intentional Adulteration Certification Course
This FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) final rule is aimed at preventing intentional adulteration from acts intended to cause wide-scale harm to public health, including acts of terrorism targeting the food supply. Rather than targeting specific foods or hazards, this rule requires mitigation (risk-reducing) strategies for processes in certain registered food facilities. This course is taught by Lead Instructors trained by the FSPCA, who have been instructed in how to teach the FDA-recognized standardized curriculum.
Vulnerability Assessments
Individuals who complete this course will receive a certificate from FSPCA which will be recognized by FDA for meeting the requirements of having a qualified individual responsible for conducting vulnerability assessments.
Attendees are strongly encouraged to take the FSPCA online Key Activity Types course before attending this course. The KAT course can be found at KAT Online Course.

What Skills Can Students Expect to Learn?

The degree of physical access to the product.
The ability to successfully contaminate the product.
