Why be an CHP?
* HACCP is today's emerging standard of food safety excellence.  The others (ServSafe etc.) demonstrate you can memorize a lot of statistics, HACCP goes Farm to Fork, putting it all into perspective, is more comprehensive, and more highly respected.  4.9 million Floridians had foodborne illness in 2009 - by law, all the establishments that served that food were Food Safety Manager compliant.  We need to do better and HACCP offers a plan to do that.

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) Management; 16 hours classroom and 8 hours preparation.
HACCP addresses food safety concerns of food from the farm to the fork – where do problems happen, who and how can we prevent them.  Students learn procedures of organization, monitoring, corrective actions and documentation which can be used in a wide array of businesses.  Food Safety is a hot item today and HACCP takes it to a new level. Many employers are looking for HACCP managers, including every public school in the U. S. required by USDA to have a HACCP plan in place.  With weekly foodborne illness outbreaks in the news, it is time for a new and more regimented approach to ensuring the public safety, and that process is called HACCP.

Upon completion the learner will be able to:
Explain what a HACCP plan is and is not
Identify the five preliminary steps and the seven principals of HACCP
Develop a HACCP plan for their facility.
