Ethnic Foods: Meeting the Challenge
March 19-22, 2007 Better Process Control
School [course site]
The Better Process Control School is presented
in collaboration with FDA, the Food Products Association and the
Ohio State University. It is a specialized training for food
plant personnel working with thermal processing systems,
acidification, container closure evaluations for low acid and
acidified foods. The four-day course consists of lectures
covering in-depth information of food microbiology, safety,
sanitation, thermal processing systems and/or container closure
operations. Certifications of completion are given to each
person who successfully fulfills the thermal processing and
canning requirements for both the FDA and USDA regulations.
March 13-15, 2007 -- 8th Annual
Thermal Processing of Ready-to-Eat Meat Products Short Course [course
site]
As the responsibility for ensuring safe,
ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products is shifted away from regulatory
agencies, and to the meat industry, a better understanding of
the critical factors involved in thermal processing is needed.
This course is designed for anyone in the meat industry who is
responsible for producing safe RTE meat products. All technical
and regulatory aspects of cooking, chilling and post-package
handling of RTE meat products are covered in this course, with
presentations by meat industry experts. This course was
developed by the late Erwin Waters, Bob Rust and Lynn Knipe.
