Collapse ▲Apple season is just around the corner. In preparation for a very busy season, this workshop seeks to provide anyone managing an apple packing house or in any kind of supervisory role at a packing house an opportunity to review critical food safety practices. Whether you are preparing for your food safety audit, a regulatory inspection or just want to get a refresher of important practices, this workshop is for you. Bring your food safety plan and your questions!
We will use the curriculum “Keeping Apples Safe in the Packing house” developed by Dr. Luke Laborde at Penn State University which consists of videos filmed in apple packing houses in the US to illustrate food safety practices and discuss solutions to different issues.
