The course includes specific examples and small working group sessions to provide participants with a working knowledge of HACCP and enable them to incorporate HACCP principles in their own facilities. Course instructors continuously update their materials to provide the latest information in government policy. Texas A&M University's Department of Animal Science is accredited by the International HACCP Alliance, whose mission is to provide standardized HACCP training for the industry and to implement farm to table HACCP systems.
