The Texas A&M University Department of Soil & Crop Sciences and the Office of the Texas State Chemist offer Feed Industry HACCP, an online continuing eductaion course, which will address the relationship between quality assurance and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP).

HACCP in the feed industry utilizes a process approach directed toward ensuring food safety. While not a regulatory standard for the North American feed industry, an increasing emphasis on HACCP by food processors and export customers necessitates the voluntary adoption of this technique by all sectors of the feed industry to retain their competitiveness.

This course, which was developed with support by a grant
from USDA-CSREES Integrated Food Safety Initiative, emphasizes a science-based risk management approach for identifying and managing hazards in feed ingredients and finished feed, and combines the application of management science, and principles of hazard analysis and critical control point that are needed to maintain a safe manufacturing system for foods and feeds.
