Who Should Attend PCQI Certification Courses?
Individuals responsible for food safety and participating in food safety-related tasks should acquire PCQI certification. The Food Safety Modernization Act requires companies that manufacture, hold, process or pack food to have a PCQI. The best way to become a PCQI and to prepare for compliance with the FSMA is to take Preventive Controls for Human Food training.
