Food Defense 4/28/21 (1 – day): Westwood, NJ

April 28, 2021 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm

$495

This interactive course examines issues and challenges that might arise at a food facility from intentional tampering, terrorism or sabotage. Participants will learn to develop and implement a food defense program that prepares them to handle intentional contamination, workplace violence, and other crisis situations at their facilities.

The seminar provides a framework for solid food defense planning that can be tailored to individual facilities. Issues addressed relate directly to new customer requirements, the Food Safety Modernization Act, and GFSI benchmarked audit schemes.

This course will also focus on how COVID-19 affects food safety, and what measures your company should take to protect employee health and safety. We’ve also included back-to-work strategies (food safety focus) based on the CDC and FDA guidelines.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • The difference between food defense and food safety
