The 5th edition has been updated to the 2022 FDA Food Code and updated to correspond to the competencies of the National Curriculum Standards (NCS) for Food Protection Professionals. It has been comprehensively reviewed for accuracy and relevance by our subject matter experts. A new section about the Product Approach to HACCP for specialized processes has been added and the chapter on Food Defense has been revised. We have also added two new appendices: one with information about the 2022 Food Code changes and another with a tool to help establishments develop a food defense plan. Recommended resources for additional study have also been updated.
