Collapse ▲Heads up! The Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA) is rolling out Version 2.0 of the Preventive Controls for Human Food (PCHF) curriculum this year. This FDA-recognized course is one way to meet the requirements of a Preventive Controls for Qualified Individual (PCQI). While the requirements of 21 CFR 117 have not changed, the course has been updated to enhance clarity, incorporate new and updated guidance, and provide improved tools for food processors to implement effective food safety plans.
If you have already completed the course and received a certificate of completion based on version 1.2, you do not have to complete the course again. There is no regulatory requirement to renew your certificate. However, several third-party requirements do require the renewal of either HACCP or PCHF courses.
The revisions address feedback from industry professionals and regulators to ensure that businesses—especially small food processors—can better understand and apply preventive controls in their operations. One of the most significant changes to the updated curriculum includes the integration of FDA’s Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food draft guidance, particularly in the hazard analysis chapter.
Additionally, FSPCA is offering a Lead Instructor Refresher Training for current Lead Instructors until the end of June. This refresher ensures that trainers remain up-to-date on regulatory changes and the revised curriculum, maintaining consistency in food safety education across the industry. More information on refresher training can be found at this FSPCA website.
