Food Safety Management
Brown & Associates Quality Consulting, Inc. provides training for two certification schemes that are 
approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).

    FSSC 22000 certification is based on food safety requirements from ISO 22000, applicable PRPs 
    from the ISO 22002 series, and additional requirements from FSSC 22000 Scheme, Version 5. 
    FSSC 22000-Quality certification combines the FSSC 22000 and ISO 9001 management systems 
    into a food safety and quality certification.
    SQF Food Safety and Quality Codes define a certification based on requirements developed by the Safe Quality Foods 
    Initiative. 

​Brown & Associates offers a core curriculum for both FSSC 22000 and SQF Food Safety and Quality Codes.

Overview - 2-day training class 
Participants learn the requirements of either the FSSC 22000 process or the SQF code and the relevant terminology. Requirements for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) are reviewed.  

Internal Auditing - 2-day training class 
Participants learn to audit their own organization's management system using a systematic approach
based on the auditing guidelines in ISO 19011 and is applicable to both FSSC 22000 and SQF Food 
Safety and Quality programs. The auditing process - preparation, performance, reporting, and
closure - is demonstrated through in-class exercises. This training may be customized to use the 
organization's own processes and documentation for in-class training. 

Internal Auditor Mentoring - 1 additional training day for Internal Auditing
When an organization doesn't have experienced auditors to mentor the internal auditor trainees, an additional day may be added to the Internal Auditing training class so that auditors can apply their new skills to an actual audit of the organization while being coached by the instructor.

HACCP - 1- or 2-day training class
Class participants will learn the seven principles of HACCP. Through this systematic and preventive process, participants will learn to evaluate physical, chemical, and biological hazards. In-class exercises will reinforce the participants' abilities to apply the HACCP process to these hazards to mitigate or eliminate impact on food safety.

Employee Overview - 2-hour training class
This session brings an overview to all employees. The presentation and handout materials are provided at an appropriate reading and technical level for all employees, regardless of background.
