Be Recall Ready
Preparing Georgia Fruit & Vegetable Producers for Recalls
August 10, 2010
8:00 a.m. – 6 p.m.
UGA Conference Center, 15 RDC Road, Tifton, GA
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. This hands-on educational course will help growers and shippers be recall ready with an understanding of the fundamentals of produce recalls. Longer traceability workshops have been offered in the past but have been too expensive for most producers to attend. And many Georgia producers can’t afford to be away from the farm for more than a day. This workshop was been condensed from a two day course into one day of intense education and training.
This INVALUABLE workshop should not be missed!
