Chemical Contaminants Training | GFSI-Compliant Course

Strengthen your food safety system — and control chemical contamination risks.

This Chemical Contaminants Training gives you a clear, step-by-step method to manage chemical hazards across your facility. You’ll learn where chemical contaminants come from — and more importantly, how to prevent them. You’ll explore pesticides regulations, sampling strategies, and inspection protocols.

Step by step, you’ll assess raw materials, identify process-related risks, and evaluate on-site chemicals. You’ll also create your own raw material, process, and on-site chemical risk overviews using our downloadable tools. In addition, you’ll set up leakage inspections, troubleshoot contamination issues, and keep your stakeholders on board throughout the process.

Most importantly, you’ll receive practical templates and personal coaching so you can upgrade your chemical control program — quickly, confidently, and fully aligned with GFSI standards.

Do chemical contaminants keep slipping through your food safety system?

If that’s the case, this hands-on module helps you build a proactive control strategy — rather than constantly reacting to issues. You’ll learn how to identify chemical hazards in raw materials, assess process-related and on-site risks, and apply practical tools to prevent contamination. Whether your current system is outdated, unclear, or missing key elements, this Chemical Contaminants Training gives you the tools, structure, and support you need to stay compliant with GFSI requirements — and stay one step ahead.
