J. J. Keller Expands Food Safety Training Line
New J. J. Keller® TRAINING courses support employee education on key food safety practices
For Immediate Release - November 12, 2026
Neenah, WI — To help food manufacturers address a broad range of food safety risks and compliance requirements, J. J. Keller® TRAINING has expanded its offerings with a growing library of new courses and refreshers. J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. is a leading provider of safety and regulatory compliance solutions across North America.
“Food safety responsibilities don’t exist in isolation,” said Rachel Krubsack, compliance expert at J. J. Keller. “From personal hygiene and sanitation to allergen controls and contamination hazards, employees need to understand how their actions work together to prevent food safety problems. That makes comprehensive training an important part of an effective food safety program.”
Food manufacturers and processors must navigate requirements and expectations from regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), along with widely recognized food safety standards and certification programs.
J. J. Keller’s expanded training line now includes courses on:
- Allergen control and prevention
- BRCGS and SQF standards
- Contamination and microbial hazards
- Contamination, adulteration and tampering
- Environmental monitoring and pest control
- Facility defense and visitor safety
- Foreign material prevention and control
- Manufacturing sanitation and waste handling
- Personal hygiene and handwashing
- Personal responsibility and accountability
The company plans to continue expanding its food safety training line with more courses already in development.
According to Krubsack, each program was created with input from J. J. Keller’s food safety and compliance experts. The courses combine regulatory requirements and industry insights with practical workplace instruction to help employees understand not only what actions to take, but why those actions are important to food safety.
“Simply providing information doesn't always lead to better food safety practices,” Krubsack added. “We created these programs to more effectively help employees connect food safety requirements to the work they do every day. When employees understand the impact their actions have on product quality and consumer safety, they're more likely to apply what they've learned consistently.”
Courses are available in e-learning, classroom and streaming video formats, giving employers flexibility in how training is delivered across their workforce. Offered in multiple languages, the courses can be managed through the J. J. Keller® TRAINING platform, which supports training assignment, delivery, tracking and documentation.
In addition, J. J. Keller has developed a set of food safety training effectiveness checklists to help organizations evaluate their current food safety culture, including training lesson retention, new employee readiness and common food safety challenges. The checklists are available as a free download.
