Title: FST 1200
Course: RSC_FST1200_CANVASCOURSE

Welcome

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is transforming the nation’s food safety system by shifting the focus from responding to foodborne illness to preventing it. Congress enacted FSMA in response to dramatic changes in the global food system and in our understanding of foodborne illness and its consequences, including the realization that preventable foodborne illness is both a significant public health problem and a threat to the economic well-being of the food system.

FDA recognizes that ensuring the safety of the food supply is a shared responsibility among many different points in the global supply chain for both human and animal food.

HACCP, Hazard Analysis, and Critical Control Point, is the food safety management system that is the basis of all of the current food safety management systems, including FSMA. It focuses on prevention of problems, in addition to inspection and reaction. It requires an intimate knowledge of a food process, a willingness to ask hard questions, and dedication to finding the best answer.

This class will acquaint you with the tenets of HACCP and better equip you to work in the food processing environment.
