Dairy Plant Food Safety Controls

Dairy Plant Food Safety Workshops

Focused on pathogen-control guidelines and principles, the goal of the Innovation Center’s Food Safety Committee is to develop and encourage industry adoption of in-plant pathogen control programs. The Dairy Plant Food Safety Workshop is offered several times each year to provide hands-on, interactive learning, tools and templates. Attendees learn food safety fundamentals from a group of industrywide expert trainers who leverage their quality leadership and in-plant roles to answer tough questions. The classes mix lecture, hands-on activities, and team exercises to develop programs including EMP, SSOPs, and troubleshooting.
