According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, one in four Americans
suffer from food-borne illness every year. Yet most cases can be
prevented through proper storage, handling, cooking or processing of
food. The Center for Innovative Food Technology (CIFT) and the
Agricultural Incubator Foundation (AIF) will host a food safety
workshop Sat., Apr. 30 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the AIF, north of
Bowling Green, OH.
Food-related business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs, and those who
are producing a product to sell at markets and/or other retail
establishments are encouraged to attend.
Food safety expert Shari Plimpton, Ph.D., director, industry outreach,
CIFT, will discuss the fundamentals of proper production practices,
sanitation and hygiene practices for a safe, high-quality product. An
introduction to the basics of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control
Points as a method of identifying and preventing hazards that may
result in the contamination of food will be included. Providing safe,
wholesome products, reducing customer complaints, and avoiding product
recalls are the take home points from this comprehensive workshop.
Many of these processing procedures will be explained within a kitchen-
based setting called the Northwest Ohio Cooperative Kitchen (located
within the AIF); a non-profit entity that educates and advises
entrepreneurs interested in starting a food business.
The cost is just $25/person or $40/two guests (cash or check at the
door, payable to Agricultural Incubator Foundation) which includes a
light lunch and great networking opportunities. The AIF is located at
13737 Middleton Pike (St. Rt. 582) in Bowling Green. Directions: I-75
to St. Rt. 582, exit 187 (Luckey/Haskins). Travel west on St. Rt. 582
approximately 2.2 miles (AIF is located on the south side of St. Rt.
582).
Advanced registration is required by contacting Paula Ray at
419-823-3099 or pr...@ciftinnovation.orgThis e-mail address is being
