SUMMARY:Produce Safety Rule Grower Training
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThe Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has established the Produce Safety Rule\, which forms\, for the first time\, science-based minimum standards for the safe growing\, harvesting\, packing\, and holding of fruits and vegetables grown for human consumption. \nWho should attend the grower training? Fruit and vegetable growers and others interested in learning about produce safety\, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule\, Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs)\, and co-management of natural resources and food safety.  The PSA Grower Training Course is one way to satisfy the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirement outlined in §112.22(c) that requires ‘At least one supervisor or responsible party for your farm must have successfully completed food safety training at least equivalent to that received under standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.’ \nThe trainer will cover content contained in these seven modules: \n\nIntroduction to Produce Safety\nWorker Health\, Hygiene\, and Training\nSoil Amendments\nWildlife\, Domesticated Animals\, and Land Use\nAgricultural Water (Part I: Production Water; Part II: Postharvest Water)\nPostharvest Handling and Sanitation\nHow to Develop a Farm Food Safety Plan\n\nIn addition to learning about produce safety best practices\, key parts of the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements are outlined within each module. There will be time for questions and discussion\, so participants should come prepared to share their experiences and produce safety questions. \nBenefits of Attending the Course \nThe course will provide a foundation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and co-management information\, FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements\, and details on how to develop a farm food safety plan. Individuals who participate in this course are expected to gain a basic understanding of: \n\nMicroorganisms relevant to produce safety and where they may be found on the farm\nHow to identify microbial risks\, practices that reduce risks\, and how to begin implementing produce safety practices on the farm\nParts of a farm food safety plan and how to begin writing one\nRequirements in the FSMA Produce Safety Rule and how to meet them.\n\nAfter attending the entire course\, participants will be eligible to receive a certificate from the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) that verifies they have completed the training course. To receive an AFDO certificate\, a participant must be present for the entire training and submit the appropriate paperwork to their trainer at the end of the course. \nAre you required to take the PSA Grower course? Click here to find out!\nFor more information about this rule\, please visit the Cornell webpage here: https://producesafetyalliance.cornell.edu/training/grower-training-courses \nFor information on PSA in Spanish click here: https://es.producesafetyalliance.cornell.edu/ \nImportant Note: The Produce Safety Alliance has informed COS that classes after 6/30/23 may not be approved for remote delivery. Stay tuned for more. \nPlease click the following for a downloadable flyer for these grant funded classes: Grant Funded PSA and TTT September 2026 \nPlease click the following for a downloadable flyer of the Food Safety class schedule: Food Safety Summer/Fall 2026

SUMMARY:How to prepare for your SQF Edition 10 audit (Hint: it's not the code that will trip you up)
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nMost SQF sites are treating Edition 10 as a documentation update: new clauses\, revised language\, a culture requirement to meet. But they’re missing a key part. \nThe bigger change is how the audit itself is run. Auditors are moving to vertically integrated audit paths\, real-time traceability checks\, and a format that demands more from your team on audit day than sites have had to prepare for in the past. \nIn this session\, we’ll walk through what’s actually changing in how the audit is conducted\, and share a real-world\, head-to-head comparison of an Edition 9 audit and an Edition 10 pre-assessment at the same facility\, so you can see the risk points before you’re standing in front of an auditor. \nLive Q&A included: Bring your questions. The final segment is dedicated to answering them on the spot.

SUMMARY:From Crisis to Control: A Listeria Elimination Journey in Food Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThis webinar presents a real-world case study from a food processing facility facing a critical and persistent Listeria challenge—with near-100-percent detection rates on a machine that standard protocols had consistently failed to resolve. The session will walk through how sensitive Listeria detection (down to <1 cfu/g) revealed established contamination niches previously missed by conventional sampling\, and how a targeted closed-cleaning engineering intervention reduced per-machine cleaning time from 1.5–2 hours to just 10 minutes while achieving more than a 5-log Listeria reduction. It will also examine how results were immediate—machines went from near-100-percent positive to effectively zero from the first cleaning cycle. \nThe session will also demonstrate how digital trending of microbiological data—with full historical records and automatic\, ongoing laboratory integration—gave the producer a complete and actionable picture of their Listeria status and history\, for the first time. \nKey takeaways for attendees: \n\nValidated in-house Listeria testing reveals contamination niches\nAutomated closed cleaning reduces time\, energy\, water\, and chemicals\nImmediate elimination: 5-log Listeria reduction from the first cleaning cycle\nDigitized data and real-time monitoring enable better control of food safety and quality
