Food safety hazards abound in the path
fresh
produce travels from the field to the table. To help keep that
healthful food clean and
safe all the way through, the University of Georgia has planned
a HACCP (Hazard Analysis
and Critical Control Point) training for processors.

Anyone in the fresh-cut produce industry could benefit from
the training Dec. 1-3 at the Holiday Inn Airport North in
Atlanta.

UGA food scientists will conduct the training. The program
will begin Dec. 1 at 8 a.m. It will end at noon Dec. 3.

A $450 fee will cover tuition and accreditation certificate,
as well as all materials, supplies, two lunches, refreshment
breaks, a reception Dec. 1
and dinner Dec. 2.

Preregistration is required. A block of rooms will be held
until Nov. 16 at a $90 rate. Call the hotel at (404) 762-8411
for reservations.

Service office. Or call Bill Hurst at (706) 542-2574. Or e-mail
