To the credit of FDA, a wealth of resources has been assembled to help processors develop and implement a plan to come into compliance with the Preventive Controls rules. For example, the agency created a Food Safety Plan Builder to assist owners/operators of food facilities with the development of food safety plans that are specific to their facilities and has published several guidance documents related to implementing Food Safety Modernization Act.
FDA also partnered with numerous authorities through the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance to provide the required training for Preventive Controls Qualified Individuals (PCQIs) under a standardized curriculum.
