    Event Details

    Bioterrorism -- what are the real risks? What can be done? With the recent
    slew of federal bioterrorism regulations and customer food security
    expectations, food processors are faced with costly and time-consuming
    requirements. To provide solutions to these challenges, the University of
    Idaho and TechHelp are offering a two-day Practical Food Security Workshop.
    Participants will learn how to develop a security program, and will be
    updated on new FDA regulations dealing with registration, detention, prior
    notice for imports, and record keeping.

     

    Although the main thrust of government programs is handling bioterrorism
    incidents, workshop participants will learn cutting edge tactics to prevent
    intentional food contamination. The workshop provides a fresh look at this
    perplexing new area for the food industry, by presenting practical, yet cost
    effective security strategies. Participants will learn these techniques
    through a hands-on, interactive approach to building a plant security
    system.

     

    Who Should Attend?

    Food industry operations personnel: Corporate Security, Loss Control
    Managers, Plant Managers, Food Security Managers, HR Managers, Food Safety,
    QA Managers, and Supervisory Personnel.

     

    Government sector: State Regulators, Federal Regulators, Homeland Security
