Cornell Dairy Foods Extension is once again partnering with Artisan and Farmstead Food Processors to develop food safety plans on December 1-2 in White Plains, NY.

This course is designed to provide a hands-on, practical approach to developing food safety plans for your artisan/farmstead operation. It is targeted to those who need help setting up a Food Safety System in their facility.

Prior to an intensive hands-on session at the Crowne Plaza in White Plains, NY, participants will be responsible for completing online modules and pre-reading to better prepare them for plan development.

Throughout the course, participants will break up into specific commodity groups and you will receive guidance in developing specific plans for your facility. At the end of the workshop you will have a good start to developing Food Safety Systems. We will also cover all the Food Safety Programs needed in your facility that would meet FSMA and 3rd party auditing requirements.

Successful completion of this workshop will meet the HACCP training requirements for the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) schemes (e.g., Safe Quality Food – SQF Practitioners, British Retail Consortium – BRC). The goal of this program is that through active participation, attendees will gain the knowledge and tools needed to build new or enhance existing Food Safety Systems (HACCP programs) and serve as effective members of the plant’s Food Safety team.

Cost to attend is $500 for NYS processors and $600 for processors in other states. Registration and more information is available online at: http://dairyextension.foodscience.cornell.edu/content/food-safety-systems-artisan-food-processors
