BPCS training certifies supervisors of thermal processing systems, acidification, and container closure evaluation programs for low-acid and acidified foods (LACF/AF).These training courses must be approved by U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and FDA requires (21CFR 113 & 114) that each processor of low-acid or acidified foods for U.S. consumption must operate with a certified supervisor on hand at all times during processing. The topics of the training include 17 courses. OUC was approved by FDA from 2011, and the 4^th training was operated in February 2014. Until now, the BPCS training center in OUC is the one and only approved center in Asia. (Article/Figure: Dong Ping)
