Overview
Trainer: Allen Sayler, Vice President, IDFA
Note: Class Size Limited to the first 20 paid applicants
IDFA's SQF Certified Practitioner Workshop for Dairy and Juice Products utilizes the latest Safe Quality Food Institute's (SQFI) training material, plus our own extensive experience with dairy and juice HACCP training, to provide comprehensive instruction on the implementation of SQF 2000 Code (Edition #6) requirements for dairy and juice processing plants.
The workshop is designed to meet the training and certification requirements established by SQFI for Certified Practitioners. Successful completion of this workshop will provide participants with a certificate attesting to their knowledge of the SQF 2000 Code and will help companies to meet all SQF supplier training requirements evaluated during SQF-based third-party audits.
SQF is one of four food safety and auditing systems recognized by the independent Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) that is being mandated by many U.S. food retailers for their suppliers.
