Food Safety Training Set for July 13

            In anticipation of possible new food safety regulations for fruit and vegetable producers, a training is coming up this summer for producers to see what to expect in an on-farm Food Safety Audit. Tennessee Department of Agriculture’s Ag Enhancement Program is offering additional cost-share (50% level) in the Producer Diversification Program for upgrade of produce packing facilities, food grade materials for a GAP plan, and restrooms/handwashing facilities for workers. To get the 50% cost-share producers must attend a food safety training (this audit meetings will count) or one of the winter food safety trainings already held.

July 13 – 1 PM - Maury County –UT’s Middle Tennessee Research Center at Spring Hill – 1000 Main Entrance Drive,  Spring Hill - Peaches – Call Richard Groce at (931)375- 5301.

These meetings are open to everyone. Cornell Food Safety Manuals will be available at these meetings as long as they last. Please call Richard Groce for more information.
