To assist carriers in their efforts to provide training to personnel, FDA offers a free web-based training module that covers the required training elements described above. You may offer this module to your personnel as a means of satisfying the rule’s training requirement.
The FDA training module touches on a wide range of transportation food safety topics in a non-detailed manner. We anticipate that some carriers will wish to provide additional training that focuses on company-specific operations and procedures related to food safety.
You are not required to use the FDA training module. You may use training offered by third parties training vendors or you may train your personnel yourself. We do not require training offered by a company or a third party to be approved by FDA or that the instructors be certified.
