If you want to learn more about FSPCA FSMA Preventive Controls for Human Foods trainings, WSDA Organic Program is offering an upcoming Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 101 for Organic Processors Webinar Series that starts September 14. Recently passed federal regulations require food processors to meet certain new food safety standards. Join this for a webinar series to learn what your business needs to do to comply. In this 4-part series, they will walk through the different compliance categories of the federal Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) for food processors as well as review what each category of businesses needs to do to comply. Get your FSMA questions answered in this introductory food safety series for organic processors! And while the webinar series targets small to medium sized organic or organic-interested producers, the bulk of the content will be applicable to non-organic processors as well.
The FSMA 101 series is tailored to processors in Washington and California, with a specific track featuring food safety experts knowledgeable about Washington’s specific food safety regulations. You may register for an individual webinar or for all four in the series. Registration links can be found HERE.
