Collapse ▲Food businesses, such as restaurants, retailers, food processors, and farms, must understand which local, state, and/or federal agency has jurisdiction over their foods in order to comply with required food safety regulations. NC State Extension is partnering with our state and local agencies (N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and NCDHHS) to deliver a webinar series to answer your questions regarding who regulates our foods. The answer can often be confusing. Join us and learn from the experts in our regulatory agencies! We welcome your questions and look forward to a great discussion. The series will be held every Wednesday in August of 2021 (including September 1) from noon to 1 p.m.
Wednesday, August 4: The Big Picture
Don’t know where to begin? The webinar series will kick off with an introduction and overview of the food safety regulatory structure in North Carolina. A representative from each agency will be introducing their agency’s roles and responsibilities, followed by Q&A. Subsequent webinars will dive deeper into a specific agency’s responsibilities with an opportunity for discussion with participants.
