Ironically, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks forced the
cancellation of a Sept. 13-14 workshop on a topic the attacks
made even more important to shoppers: food safety. The workshop
has been rescheduled.

The American Meat Science
Association‘s “Improving Your Sanitation Program” for meat
and poultry processors will now be Nov. 29-30. It’s set for the
Georgia Center for Continuing
Education on the University of Georgia campus in Athens,
Ga.

The two-day, comprehensive workshop will begin at 7:45 a.m. Nov.
29. It will fill two full days with timely classes, ending around
5 p.m. Nov. 30. The comprehensive course was developed in
cooperation with Virginia Tech and UGA food
scientists.

The course is designed for anyone responsible for meat or poultry
processing plant sanitation, including quality control
supervisors, HACCP coordinators, plant engineers and production
managers.

A $395 fee covers the course materials, a reception Thursday
evening, two luncheons and refreshment breaks. Preregistration is
required before Nov. 16. Just get a form off the Web and fax it
to (706) 542-9066.
