FD215: Managing Retail Food Safety
Who: Retail Food Inspectors (*see note below)
When: Tuesday, April 9 (starts at 8 am) to Thursday, April 11 (ends at 12 noon), 2019
Where: Copper King Hotel and Convention Center, 4655 Harrison Ave, Butte, MT
Course Description:
This course is designed to allow participants an opportunity to explore the various ways that risk-based inspections can be applied in retail and food service establishments. Topics will include the "process approach" to HACCP, applications of HACCP principles in routine inspection work, and assessing active managerial control of risk factors by operators through a HACCP system or other established food safety systems. While the process approach is new to many regulators, it is better designed for use in retail and food service settings than traditional HACCP approaches because it eliminates lengthy flow charting and hazard analysis for every type of food product.
Prerequisites:
1. Know the HACCP Concepts
2. Read NACMCP HACCP Principles and Application Guidelines: https://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/HACCP/ucm2006801.htm
