The United Fresh Produce Association is offering a web seminar on auditor training for good agricultural practices.
The four half-day sessions, Oct. 19-22, are sponsored by the National Farmers Union. The course features training materials designed to standardize food safety auditors’ use and expectations of the combined Pre- and Post-harvest Harmonized Standards, according to a news release.
Presenters scheduled for the training are:
- Rebecca Anderson, technical key account manager of North America for GobalG.A.P.;
- Steve Warshawer, senior technical advisor at Winrock International;
- Jennifer Dougherty, audit programs coordinator for the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service;
- Emily Griep, manager of food safety at the United Fresh Produce Association; and
- Jennifer McEntire, senior vice president of food safety and technology for United Fresh.
The sessions will cover details of what auditors should expect to see, how auditors evaluate operations, and how evaluations may change based on different scenarios, according to the release.
