Food Science Building
University of Georgia Campus
Athens, GA
|
This program, presented by the University of Georgia, in partnership with United Fresh, has been specifically designed for the fresh cut industry and is accredited by the International HACCP Alliance.
The goal of this program will be to provide you with the skills and knowledge to design, implement, document and maintain HACCP in your fresh-cut business. Our short course provides a unique program of lectures and work group discussions from a broad-based faculty of food microbiologists, HACCP experts, and authorities from academia, industry and government. The work group sessions provide interaction with HACCP authorities who have developed and implemented successful HACCP programs in fresh-cut processing plants.
