Cooperative Feed Dealers in partnership with Cornell University and Northeast Agribusiness and Feed Alliance will be hosting Preventive Controls for Animal Feed Qualified Individual Training.

The Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-based Preventive Controls for Animal Food regulation (also referred to as FSMA Preventive Controls for Animal Food regulation) is intended to ensure safe manufacturing, processing, packing and holding of food products for animal consumption in the United States.

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.

Three separate training opportunities will be held May 23-24, August 15-17, and November 7-9, 2017. Courses will be instructed by Barbara Simeon of CFD and MacKenzie Waro of Cornell Cooperative Extension Harvest New York Program.
