Course Overview
If you are responsible for developing, implementing, or verifying a HACCP-based preventive control plan (or HACCP Program) in a food manufacturing establishment, this course will help you interpret and apply preventive controls (formerly Prerequisite Programs) which form the foundation of a food safety program that meets Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR). Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are presented as the primary means by which to implement these preventive controls (including those related to the facility, personnel, sanitation, equipment, shipping, receiving and storage, purchasing, recall, and allergens, among others). This course will also cover consumer protection measures including labelling, use of restricted ingredients and inputs, and grading requirements. The self-assessment quizzes, assignments, and discussion forums will build your confidence in SOP writing, monitoring, corrective action documentation, and verification activities. You will complete the course with practical examples of SOPs and related documents that are ready to employ in any food manufacturing establishment. Once you successfully pass this course with a 70% grade, BCIT issues a badge in the Food Safety Preventive Controls and HACCP Plans micro-credential. You can then take FOOD 1189 HACCP for Preventive Control Plans, the second badge in the micro-credential. This badge can also be applied to the Food Safety Associate Certificate: www.bcit.ca/programs/6365acert
