FDA Regulatory Training for Food Companies

Know what the rule requires. Make it work in production.

Private, scientist-led FDA food safety and HACCP training for manufacturers, processors, brands, and technical teams—delivered on-site or by live webinar nationwide.

Inspection Readiness

Regulation translated into operations

Your team needs more than a citation to the Code of Federal Regulations.

Effective regulatory training connects the written requirement to actual hazards, equipment, process controls, verification, records, deviations, and management decisions. Ernest Black teaches those connections from the perspective of a microbiologist, process authority, HACCP practitioner, and experienced leader in FDA-regulated manufacturing.

Understand the credential before enrolling

Clear scope. Accurate claims. No implied FDA endorsement.

The Institute’s Basic HACCP Certificate Program uses an International HACCP Alliance-accredited introductory HACCP curriculum and is ANAB-accredited under ANSI/ASTM E2659. Customized FDA regulatory instruction may be offered separately or alongside the certificate program, depending on the engagement.

FDA does not approve or endorse HACCP Trainer, the Institute, a learner, facility, product, or HACCP plan. Specialized requirements—such as seafood or juice trained-individual provisions, PCQI responsibilities, or Better Process Control School—must be confirmed for the applicable product and role. The written proposal will identify exactly what the training covers and what credential, if any, is issued.

FDA training FAQ

Know exactly what you are buying.

Is this FDA-approved training?

FDA does not endorse HACCP Trainer or the Institute. Training is designed around applicable FDA regulations, guidance, and industry practice; the proposal identifies the exact course, learning outcomes, and credential, if any.

Can the training be delivered at our facility?

Yes. Private FDA regulatory training can be delivered on-site at your facility or through a live instructor-led webinar for one location or a distributed team.

Does the Basic HACCP certificate cover every specialized FDA training requirement?

No. The Basic HACCP Certificate Program provides a rigorous applied HACCP foundation, but specialized requirements for seafood, juice, preventive controls, acidified foods, or low-acid foods may require separately scoped training or qualifications.

Can the class use examples from our operation?

Yes. Private training can use relevant products, processes, records, and scenarios while maintaining the defined requirements of any certificate program included in the engagement.

Who teaches the training?

Ernest Black, CP-FS, is a microbiologist, food scientist, process authority, registered Lead HACCP Instructor, and experienced technical leader in FDA-regulated food and beverage manufacturing.
