Event Description

Are your canned food products vulnerable to contamination? Attend our Better Process Control School (BPCS) and learn how you can reduce your susceptibility and minimize your liability.

According to FDA regulations, each processor of low-acid and acidified low-acid canned foods, including pet foods, must operate with a trained supervisor on hand at all times. Similar USDA/FSIS regulations and training requirements are in place for thermally processed meat and poultry products. These regulations are designed to prevent public health problems in these types of food products.

Principles:

  • FDA guidelines and regulation compliance
  • Acidified foods
  • Retort operations
  • Principles of thermal processing
  • Food plant sanitation

A Certificate of Training will be provided upon successful completion of the course and all exams (passing score 70%).
