Food Allergens
Food allergens are considered an important hazard that need to be controlled during food and beverage manufacturing. While more than 160 foods can cause allergenic reactions in people with food allergies, 90% of food allergenic reactions come from just eight allergens: dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut, peanuts, wheat, and soy. To avoid health risks posed by food allergens, food manufacturers must implement control strategies to avoid cross contact of allergenic foods with foods that don’t contain that allergen and product mislabeling.
In this five-hour asynchronous course, you’ll learn how some food proteins cause an allergenic reaction and the symptoms that accompany this reaction. You will also learn how to develop an Allergen Control program, the necessary documentation, internal auditing, and employee training requirements as well as the practical implementation to ensure a robust and sustainable system.

Food Recall and Crisis Management
Having an effective Recall Program is the cornerstone of any Food Safety Program and required by governmental agencies such as FDA, USDA, and the Georgia Department of Agriculture. In this five-hour asynchronous course, you will learn the components needed to create and maintain both Recall and Crisis Management Programs. This course will also serve as a foundational prerequisite program for any Hazard Analysis Critical Control Plan (HACCP) and Food Safety Plan.
