Did you know that food recalls due to foreign material contamination have risen sharply over the last few years? Intertek Alchemy understands that contaminated food products can cost millions in wasted product, recalls, lawsuits, and loss of sales due to a damaged reputation. In many cases, your frontline workers are the best & last line of defense in the battle against foreign materials.

The onset of COVID-19 taught us that in order to keep workers safe and operations running, everyone must know how to respond to a crisis. With our new Protek for Manufacturing Premium Library, you can confidently prepare your workforce to be ready, from frontline workers to supervisors and managers.

Intertek Alchemy strives to keep our Poultry Animal Welfare library aligned with current industry guidelines & regulatory standards. That’s why we’re excited to announce a new complementary course and five updated courses to ensure compliance with National Chicken Council (NCC) Guidelines for the United States and Canada. In addition, these new and updated courses are available in English, Spanish, and now Canadian French.

Update: 6/5/20

We are pleased to announce that the complimentary new course, "Face Masks: Overview is now available in US Spanish, Canadian French, and UK English.

Like the American English version, this course is available in the Workplace Safety category of your Alchemy Manager eLearning course catalog or via download to Alchemy Player. 

You may already be familiar with Alchemy Creator, a software tool that makes it easy to customize courses. Many of you use it to edit existing Alchemy courses or to create your own from scratch. But you may not always have the time!

With that in mind, we created Course Creation services for our clients. Now you can utilize this service to convert existing company courseware, training manuals, and paper policies into dynamic courses. You can also use it to translate existing courseware into multilingual training materials.

Intertek Alchemy continues to keep our course libraries aligned with current industry & regulatory standards. We also strive to make training administration easier with more efficient courses. As part of this process, 11 courses (9 Food Safety, 1 Workplace Safety, and 1 Supervisor course) will be retired on September 16th, 2020.

Update: 4/21/20

The “COVID-19 Overview” training course we released on April 6 is now updated for British English.

Over the last several years, regulations and expectations around facility defense have evolved, terminology has changed, and programs and processes have become more robust.
