Better Process Control School

An Instructional Training Course on the Thermal Processing of Canned Foods recognized by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration - Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS).

Under the Good Manufacturing Practices (GNP) regulations for thermally-processed low-acid foods, can closure and processing departments of food industries must be operated under the supervision of a person who has successfully completed a course in the principles of thermal processing and container evaluation, taught by an FDA approved institution.

To assist food industries in complying with the FDA/USDA regulations, a four-day Better Process Control School is offered in partnership with the Food Science and Nutrition Department at Chapman University in conjunction with the FDA and the Food Products Association. Instruction will be given by members of the Chapman University Food Science and Nutrition Department and by experts from local food companies, all of whom have had wide experience in thermal processing, container handling, federal regulations for manufacturing and processing foods, food plant sanitation and food microbiology.

Successful participants are awarded a certificate of completion, and are registered with the US FDA as qualified food canning supervisors.
