Live online sessions with industry-recognized experts
Hands-on exercises and real-world application
Engaging group discussions and activities
Networking with peers and trainers

The food safety risks and controls for a food packaging manufacturing facility are different from those for food processors. Whether you manufacture flexible packaging, rigid plastics, cartons, cut and stack labels, or glass or composite cans, this training provides the knowledge, skills and confidence to apply the Codex 12 steps to HACCP to develop, implement and maintain a HACCP-based food safety management system. 

 

What this course covers:

  • Assess a process flow for your operation
  • Use a decision tree to identify process controls and critical control points (CCPs)
  • Examine shared HACCP plan models for various packaging materials
  • Work through a documentation framework for developing HACCP plans, with demonstration of forms and templates for an identified packaging product and manufacturing process
  • Discuss implementation strategies

This course satisfies the HACCP training requirement for the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked standards (BRCGS, SQF, FSSC 22000, etc.).   

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the program, learners will be able to:

  • Discuss the importance of HACCP in managing food safety along the packaging supply chain
  • Apply the Codex 12 steps to HACCP to develop and maintain your HACCP plans
  • Analyze packaging-related food safety hazards
  • Begin developing or strengthening your prerequisite programs and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)
  • Develop and implement your HACCP plan
