Processing-plant supervisors must meet rigid federal Good Manufacturing Practice requirements to assure the safety of low-acid or acidified canned foods. They can learn how in the University of Georgia Better Process Control School in Athens, Ga.
The school, which covers the critical factors supervisors must know in these canning processes, will be March 7-10 at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education.
The school is sponsored by the UGA Department of Food Science and Technology and the Food Process Research and Development Laboratory.
The $500 fee covers training materials, supplies, refreshment breaks, three lunches, tuition and certificates. Preregistration is required.
To learn more about the school, or to sign up, call Marian Wendinger at (706) 542-2574. Or e-mail her at marianw@flavor.fst.uga.e du.
