This year, prior to Natural Products Expo West 2012, in Anaheim, CA, the Organic Trade Association (OTA) and NSF International's Training and Education Division will be offering a two-day intensive program - HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) for the Organic Professional.
The HACCP workshop is a great resource for companies committed to maintaining both certified organic and food safety standards. The workshop will cover the seven principles of HACCP and how they relate to organic certification programs. Participants will also learn how to write and implement HACCP plans in organic food environments.
While anyone may benefit from a workshop like this, it's specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals responsible for organic and food safety programs in small- to medium-sized processing facilities, and those responsible for the communications messaging of these facilities. Organic certifiers and inspectors may also find the presentation useful. Space is limited.
What's included?: HACCP for the Organic Professional participants includes two full days of professional instruction, the NSF HACCP Manager Training Manual, which includes the Codex Alimentarius, as well as a Certificate of Completion at the end of the course.
Where and when?: March 7-8, 2012, right before Natural Products Expo West, Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA
