This course will provide participants with the knowledge to implement the requirements of conducting a vulnerability assessment under the FDA鈥檚 Mitigation Strategies to Protect Food Against Intentional Adulteration Rule. The FDA's Intentional Adulteration (IA) Rule (21 CFR Part 121) is designed to prevent intentional adulteration that could cause widespread harm to public health, including acts of terrorism targeting the food supply. Such acts could lead to illness, death, and significant economic disruption.

To mitigate these risks, the rule mandates the implementation of risk-reducing strategies for processes in specific registered food facilities. The regulation requires that certain activities must be completed by a 鈥渇ood defense qualified individual鈥� who has successfully completed training in the conduct of a vulnerability assessment (21 CFR 121.4). This course developed by the FSPCA is the 鈥渟tandardized curriculum鈥� recognized by FDA; successfully completing this course is one way to meet the requirements for a 鈥渇ood defense qualified individual鈥� responsible for conducting a vulnerability assessment.
