Cornell Dairy Foods Extension Program Syllabus Hazard Analyses & Critical Control Point Program (HACCP) Instructors: Course Organizer - Steve Murphy, Sr. Extension Associate; e-mail: scm4@cornell.edu; phone: (607) 255-2893 Instructors and contributors to this course include the organizer and may include other dairy extension staff or outside industry experts. Course Contact: Steve Murphy; e-mail: scm4@cornell.edu; phone: (607) 255-2893 Overview: This course provides instruction on HACCP based systems for the dairy and food industries modeled after the National Advisory Committee on the Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF) guidance document. It includes hands-on and group exercises designed to give participants practical skills in HACCP development. The course is based on the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments (NCIMS) Core Curriculum and meets the training requirement for those responsible for HACCP program development and specific verification activities required under the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) HACCP Alternative. It also fulfills the HACCP training requirement for those enrolled in the Dairy Foods Extension Fluid Milk Certificate Program (see attached). The workshop can be taken as a stand-alone program and should meet the HACCP training needs (e.g., under GFSI certification) for those in any dairy or juice operation, and can be further applied to other foods. It is a 2.5 day course, offered once a year on the Cornell campus. The course may be offered at other locations; interested parties should contact Steve Murphy for further information on course dates, locations and registration fees. A course program outline follows. Learning Outcomes: This course will provide attendees with information in the key program areas listed below. Hazards Associated with Dairy Products and Other Foods; Participants Will: - Learn about the basic categories of hazards associated with dairy and other foods and how they are controlled such that the risk of food borne illness or injury is eliminated or reduced. Prerequisite Programs and Good Manufacturing Practices; Participants Will: - Understand the importance of prerequisite programs, sanitation standard operating system and good manufacturing practices in supporting the HACCP plan and their role in the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point determinations. - Be able to develop written prerequisite programs that can be monitored for effectiveness in order to support the HACCP system. HACCP Plan Development; Participants Will: - Be able to develop comprehensive product descriptions, flow diagrams, hazard analyses, and HACCP plans that will help ensure the safety of food products made under such a system. HACCP Based Regulations; Participants Will: - Learn the regulatory requirements of the NCIMS HACCP Alternative and FDA Juice HACCP Programs and understand how they relate to classic HACCP development based on the NACMCF guidance document. Evaluation: A pre-test will be administered to determine the incoming knowledge base of course participants on HACCP concepts. A post-test will be given at the end of the course addressing materials covered in the training. Participants must receive a passing grade on the post-test in order to receive a Certificate of Completion. Test questions include multiple choice, short answer, and true/false questions. A Certificate of Completion for this workshop is required to meet the HACCP course requirement for all those enrolled in a Cornell Dairy Foods Fluid Milk Certificate Program. As part of the Certificate Program, questions pertaining to materials covered in this course will be asked in the required final exam given after all certificate criteria have been met.
