The International Food Protection Training Institute (IFPTI) said the FD 170: Application of Inspection and Investigation Techniques course will feature US industry and regulatory communities.
Participants learn and apply skills for food safety inspections and investigations.
Hands-on exercises include food sampling techniques and use of an array of inspection equipment and tools.
“This integration of industry and regulatory officials in training will improve overall consistency and uniformity of inspections,” said Gerald Wojtala, executive director of IFPTI.
“While not all training lends itself to joint participation, having transparent expectations when basic inspections are conducted benefits the whole system.”
