Applicable obligations depend on the food, facility, transaction and destination market. Training certificates and the proposed CIFT qualification are separate from government registration or regulatory authorization.
A regulatory registration process for covered facilities, not a product or facility approval.
Training to develop knowledge and practical judgment, not FDA-issued certification.
A proposed professional credential under development, not currently accredited or awarded.
