The PCCA in conjunction with Firedancer Coffee Consultants are pleased to offer the following educational opportunities:
ONLINE FOREIGN SUPPLIER VERIFICATION PROGRAM (FSVP) This is for exporters, growers, importers and roasters doing direct trade. We will not only review the law and what you need to have in place, but the module will be spent reviewing templates and crating a mock FSVP plan together. The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) includes Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP), which require companies to assess their foreign supply chain of food production and implement new programs to meet and achieve compliance. These programs must be implemented and ready for inspection under FDA FSMA enforcement by the compliance date. For many companies, that date was May 30, 2017. Class is delivered on-line with a live instructor; 7 modules in total, 12+ total hours. Offered in two formats, once a week, four weeks total, 3 hours each session, or over the course of two days.
