A good cup of coffee should be complex. Keeping up with compliance shouldn’t be.

The NCA PCQI Training, in partnership with ToxStrategies, offers coffee companies simple solutions, practical guidance, and tailored templates for navigating new FSMA rules.

Get access to top-tier food safety expertise and personalized feedback - at a fraction of the cost of hiring a licensed consultant.*  (Plus the time and emotional energy you’ll save making sense of the latest regulations.) 

Attendees will come away with exclusive model food safety plans created specifically for coffee, which is the foundation for a comprehensive, informed, and well-supported safety program

Industry model food safety plans include:

  • Green coffee
  • Roast and ground coffee
  • Flavored coffee
  • Decaf

Additionally, the course will address the Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) aspects of FSMA – basically, how far up the supply chain you need to look, and how to deal with obligations to assert compliance when so much of the chain is offshore or hidden from view.

Space is extremely limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

*Comparable consultant costs estimated at upwards of $10,000 

Why Attend?

Every food facility’s management team must include an individual certified as a Preventive Controls Qualified Individual (PCQI) to comply with the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).

This training will familiarize you with FSMA and how it relates to coffee – from knowing what to look for (and where), to meeting compliance standards. In this comprehensive and accessible workshop, food safety experts from ToxStrategies will walk you through potential hazards, and discuss effective solutions and mitigation strategies.

You will come away with model food safety plans for coffee and a deeper understanding of the compliance process and how it relates to your manufacturing process.
