LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS OF FOOD SAFETY INCIDENTS

The NC Produce Safety Task Force is inviting you to join us for this year’s conference. The topic we will be focusing on is addressing food safety incidents from a legal perspective.

This event will expand your knowledge on the legal aspects of food safety regulations when growing and selling produce and other value added products. The audience will gain an understanding of the interplay of federal and state law and regulations in the area of produce safety and what happens in the event a farm or facility is involved in an official regulatory action (such as recalls and outbreak investigations). Finally we will discuss how to put in place mitigation strategies to protect your farm and/or business.

We strongly encourage produce growers, market managers, food hubs, CSA’s, roadside stand operators, small food distributors, consultants and extension agents to attend.
