About FSMA's Preventive Controls for Human Food Rule

FSMA's Preventive Controls for Human Food Rule specifies that a PCQI is a qualified individual who has successfully completed training in the development and application of risk-based preventive controls at least equivalent to that received under a standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by FDA or be otherwise qualified through job experience.

The rule does not require any specific certifications, including certification by the Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance (FSPCA). In general, FDA will assess the adequacy of a facility’s food safety plan rather than an individual’s documented qualifications. Deficiencies in the food safety plan indicate that a PCQI may need additional training specific to the rule, irrespective of documented training and experience.
