FIBR Food Safety Training Institute
The FIBR Food Safety Institute has become the cornerstone of FIBR's programs and services. In the Summer of 2000, FIBR began the FIBR Food Safety Training Institute which was developed and run by a volunteer corps of professional food safety professionals that represent Industry, Regulatory, Consultants and Academia, The FIBR Training Council.
FIBR trainings are unique in that our trainers are diverse and provide both a regulatory and industry perspective and training are offered in group or on-site settings. Processors receive the tools needed to provide safe, quality foods to consumers.
Core trainings include Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP's), Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP's) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). FIBR also convenes its members to discuss new regulations or laws affecting the industry, advocates on their behalf and on occasion offers specialized seminar on topics like Surviving Third Party Audits or Advanced HACCP, and Recalls.
GMP, SSOP and HACCP training is the first step toward achieving food safety excellence for food manufacturers. There is significant importance in the continuation of your company's food safety training. Your company team should take steps now to be prepared for all the new regulations that will be required under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Under FSMA all food processors will be required to have HACCP.
For those who do not fall under the processing guidelines, warehouses for example, will be required to have a risk assessment program in place. A Risk Assessment program from FIBR is in the development stages. In the meantime, HACCP training will help you define the tools needed for that risk assessment requirement.
Education with The FIBR Food Safety Training Institute will give you a head start to be ready for the new challenges that are currently taking place in the food industry.
Your next step is to register your team to take the full set of courses offered. New employees and veterans alike benefit from FIBR's excellent training curriculum. Don't delay, register your team today!
