Dr. Michele Pfannenstiel announced a unique, new International HACCP Meat and Poultry Producers course today. Business planning and how to apply for a USDA grant of inspection, things other food safety courses do not offer, are included.

 

Cumberland, Maine / ACCESSWIRE / July 15th, 2014 / During the two and a half day course, Phannenstiel teaches how to integrate the hazard planning process with overall business planning. The emphasis is on business applicability of assets and practical knowledge of how to make HACCP work in any facility.

“It’s all about how to make your business better: run more efficiently, be more profitable, and have a greater culture of food safety using the HACCP planning process,” explains Pfannenstiel.

Participants who complete the course receive a certificate with a seal from the International HACCP Alliance. It states they participated in a Meat and Poultry HACCP course, which is good for USDA processing plants and a requirement of all new meat processing plants.

The HACCP for Meat and Poultry Producers course can be held at a place of business as employee training. Pfannenstiel teaches all over the country.
