IDFA is reminding dairy food safety professionals to meet training requirements under the Food Safety Modernization Act’s Intentional Adulteration rule.

The rule, which is designed to protect against rare but potential attacks on the food supply, requires many U.S. food companies to conduct vulnerability assessments and create action plans to prevent intentional adulteration.

It requires professionals overseeing these assessments to either have qualified experience or undergo FDA-recognized training. The Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance now offers this FDA-approved course online.

IDFA recommends that businesses with 500 or more employees, which must comply with the rule by July 26, 2019, consider having staff take the course.
