Environmental Hazards Compliance Training
Learn about environmental hazards in food processing as sources of contamination, and how to control them.

Overview
Gain a thorough understanding of contamination and its consequences. Learn key terminology, examples of illnesses or injuries caused by environmental hazards, and how milestone events have impacted public policy. The course also covers sampling methods used to detect environmental hazards.
Additionally, the training identifies categories of environmental hazards, examples of each category, and points of introduction into the food supply. It explores sources, routes, and pathways of contamination, differentiating between intentional and unintentional contamination. Control factors, including acceptable levels of exposure, food safety plans, and preventive controls, are also discussed. Participants will gain the knowledge needed to manage and mitigate environmental hazards in food production.
This training course has been designed specifically for FDA regulators, and now you can gain the same valuable insights and knowledge they receive.
