On December 8th there will be two webinars related to on-farm food safety. The first is part of our Lunchtime On-the-Go On-Farm Food Safety Webinar Series.
Using Sanitizers in a Postharvest Setting: Selecting a Sanitizer and Understanding its Label

Growers are taught “the label is the law” but finding the right information and understanding what the language means can be difficult. This webinar will make understanding and following the label instructions more manageable in the postharvest setting and discuss the FSMA Postharvest water compliance requirements and timeframes.
At the end of the webinar participants will understand:
-
- EPA labeling, what to look for and what it means
- Ideal chemistries for use in surface sanitation and postharvest water
- Best practices for sanitizing surfaces and postharvest water
- Management of postharvest sanitation systems
- FSMA Postharvest water compliance dates

He will explain what attributes of a water testing program need to be included if it is to be risk based. The webinar will consist of a one-hour presentation followed by 30 min of interactive Q&A.
