Be Recall Ready
The Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association is partnering with Dr. David Gombas of United Fresh Produce Association and Amy Philpott of Watson and Mulhern to offer a FULL day of preparing Georgia’s producers for recalls in the produce industry, Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at the UGA Conference Center in Tifton, GA. This hands-on educational course will help growers and shippers be recall ready with an understanding of the fundamentals of produce recalls.
Many other traceability workshops have been offered in the past but have been too expensive or offered a teaser in order to sell a product. We understand many Georgia producers can’t afford to be away from the farm for more than a day which is why this workshop was been condensed from a two day course into one day of intense education and training. When you leave you will know how to prepare for a recall, the resources you need in the event of a recall and who to have on your side.
Industry experts include FDA Atlanta District Recall Coordinator, Mr. Arnold Best to share exactly what the FDA expects during a recall, Mr. David Durkin of Olsson, Frank and Weeda law firm, to shed light on your rights and responsibilities, Mr. David Gombas, Senior Vice President of Food Safety and Technology with United Fresh Produce Association, to educate on the fundamentals of a product recall and the importance of traceability, and Mrs. Amy Philpott of Watson and Mulhern to help understand how to communicate during a recall and manage customer expectations.
The Be Recall Ready workshop will culminate with a hands-on traceability exercise to put the knowledge to the test. This workshop is presented through the GREAT educational series of the Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association and cosponsored by the Georgia Peach Council, Georgia Watermelon Association and the Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commission for Vegetables.
