Hands-On HACCP for the Fresh-Cut Industry Workshop at UGA
May 17-19, 2011
Department of Food Science & Technology
University of Georgia Campus
Athens, GA
Registration Closes April 25, 2011
This May, United Fresh is partnering with University of Georgia on the Fresh-Cut HACCP Short Course workshop designed to establish an in-plant HACCP program for the fresh-cut produce industry.
The three-day course will provide a unique program of lectures and work group discussions from a broad-based faculty of food microbiologists, HACCP experts, authorities from academia, industry and government and United’s own, Dr. Dave Gombas. The work group sessions provide interaction with HACCP authorities who have developed and implemented successful HACCP programs in fresh-cut processing plants.
In the hands-on laboratory participation the participants will learn which microbial testing tools to use to document and verify your sanitation program, how to interpret microbial results and which standardized procedures are best for consistent microbial analysis in testing fresh-cut produce.
The goal of the interactive sessions is to assist participants in developing a Food Safety Plan that they can implement in their specific operations.
BONUS! This course is now accredited by the International HACCP Alliance. Successful completion of the course and exam provides HACCP certification!
