The BPCS is a training course aimed at personnel who manage, supervise or are in charge of heat treatment (sterilisation/pasteurisation), packaging, closing and handling of containers in the fish, seafood and vegetable packaging industry. In the same way, BPCS is a training that provides excellent resources for consultants, inspectors and related professionals.

Precisamentel, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) establishes through its Code of Federal Regulations that all operators of companies that process low and acidified foods with interest in exporting such products to the United States, must operate under the supervision of qualified personnel who have completed and passed a training recognized by the FDA. To meet these requirements, the FDA authorizes Teinco as a Process Authority to deliver the Better Process Control School (BPCS) approved program.

BPCS will develop throughout its four days of duration, the necessary requirements to understand and properly carry out the control, supervision and work operations with autoclaves, the evaluation of closures, the handling of containers and the safety of packaged products, among other aspects.

Other issues to be addressed will be the microbiology of thermally processed foods, acidified foods, principles of thermal processing, sanitation of food plants, handling of food packaging, closures in metal, flexible and semi-rigid packaging.
