SUMMARY:Food Recall & Withdrawals Online (November 2020)
DESCRIPTION:“A food recall is either a food manufacturer or suppliers’ voluntary response to a mislabeling\, or potential hazard by removing a product from the market place or it is mandated by the FDA in response to a food safety issue determined. The most common reasons for food recalls are allergen mislabeling and the presence of pathogens. Other reasons behind food recalls include incorrect packaging\, wrong food labels and physical contamination.\nThe importance of having a food recall plan is to ensure quick and efficient removal of affected products from the market plane and to allow the identification of key areas of needed improvement to prevent future hazards. Recall and withdrawal procedures are required for food manufacturers under the final FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) rule for “Preventative Controls for Human Foods for hazards requiring control.”

SUMMARY:cGMP Online (January 2021)

SUMMARY:Food Allergens
DESCRIPTION:Food allergens are one of the most common reasons for food recalls. Allergen control is an essential part of every food safety program and required by the new FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) rule for “Preventive controls for human food”. The training class will explain the major allergens and how to set up an effective allergen program to avoid cross contact and ensure food safety. Participants will create a framework of the allergen program which can be later customized to their business. A certificate for successfully completion will be issued after passing the written knowledge test at the end of the training class.
