This one-day course will provide participants with the knowledge to understand the signs of intentional contamination, conduct a vulnerability assessment, and develop mitigation strategies.
About the Course:
The primary objective of this course is to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of Intentional Adulteration Vulnerability Assessment (IAVA). The goal of the FDA's final Intentional Adulteration (IA) Rule (21 CFR Part 121) is to prevent intentional adulteration, intended to cause wide-scale harm to public health, to include acts of terrorism targeting the food supply. These acts could cause illness, death, and economic disruption of the food supply. To reduce or prevent risk to the food supply, this rule requires mitigation (risk-reducing) strategies for processes in certain registered food facilities.
Learning Objectives
