The Facility Certification Institute (FCI) has partnered with the Land Grant Universities, Kansas State University, Texas A&M University and University of Nebraska to enable feed companies that implement Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) plans to receive third party certification, using CODEX Standard CAC/RCP 1-1969, Rev. 4 (2003).

KSU in conjunction with the American Feed Industry Association's Quality Council developed the HACCP Audit Program. The Audit form is available below. FCI does not assist companies in the development process of there HACCP plans. FCI strictly audits the HACCP program and determines if a sufficient plan is in place.

Texas A&M University offers educational workshops and consulting to help companies to implement HACCP in their facility(ies). For more information on the Land Grant Universities HACCP Program go to:
