Preventive Controls Qualified Individuals (PCQI) WORKSHOPS

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) final rule for Current Good Manufacturing Practices, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food (i.e., the Preventive Controls Rule) includes a requirement that food facilities have preventive controls qualified individuals (PCQIs) on staff. In order to help members comply with that new requirement, IBWA will offer several PCQI workshops around the country again in 2018.

These workshops, which will be conducted over two-and-a-half (2.5) days, will provide anyone in the bottled water industry an opportunity to become a PCQI for their facility(ies), in compliance with the new Preventive Controls Rule.

  • There are no PCQI workshops scheduled at this time. Please check back for updates.
