Federal regulations require certified supervisors to safeguard
food safety in processing plants that are canning low-acid or
acidified foods.

These supervisors must pass rigid guidelines in “better process
control” schools. To make sure the foods are safe, the schools
must cover all of the critical factors supervisors must know in
these canning processes.

The University of Georgia’s Better Process Control School will be
March 6-9 at the UGA Center for Continuing Education in Athens.
The school is sponsored by the UGA Department of Food Science and
Technology and the Food Process Research and Development
Laboratory.

The $500 fee covers training materials, supplies, refreshment
breaks, three lunches, tuition and certificates. Preregistration
is required.

To learn more about the school, or to sign up, contact Marian Wendinger at
