Good morning,
The company I work for has several divisions and I transferred from the feed division last year to our industrial and food division. My PCQI certification is for Animal Food. Will I need to take another course for Human Food or will this suffice since I can show I am qualified?
Thank you,
Jill
Hi Jill,
My suggestion to you would be to get your certification in Human Food as well. I am a PCQI for both Human Food and Animal Feed. While the whole of both programs are very similar, there are some noted differences between Animal Feed and Human Food programs. After being certified for Animal Feed, this will make your training for Human Food perhaps a bit easier.
I don't know if there is a specific regulation that says you have to do this, but it would help you in understanding FSMA for Food, and will prevent auditors from questioning your training.
