Food safety is on shoppers' minds more than ever. So the American
Meat Science Association has scheduled a training for meat and
poultry processors Nov. 29-30 in Athens, Ga.
"Improving Your Sanitation Program" will begin at 7:45 a.m. Nov.
29 at the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education.
It will offer two full days of timely classes in a comprehensive
course developed with help from University of Georgia and
Virginia Tech food scientists.
To process food products of the highest quality possible, the
course will address the:
- Microbiology of sanitation.
- Costs of spoilage.
- Danger of food-borne hazards and emerging pathogens.
- Roles of engineering, plant layout, construction materials,
refrigeration and ventilation.
A $395 fee covers materials, luncheons, a reception and
refreshment breaks. To learn more, contact your UGA Extension
Service county office. Or call
