FSSI hosting food safety workshops this month

Nov. 2, 2009, NANAIMO, B.C. – Food processors are well aware of the growing demand for regional food products. These new opportunities, including the potential for sales in retail stores, may demand a new level of food safety requirements.

Don’t miss the opportunity to grow
your business into this emerging marketplace.

The Small Scale Food Processor Association invites British Columbia food
processors to attend an introductory food safety workshop to learn
basic food safety for food manufacturing using food safety systems such
as GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices) and HACCP (Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point). What’s more, the workshops – part of the Food Safety Systems (Processor) Program – offer a great
opportunity to network.

The next regional Food Safety Planning Workshops will be on Vancouver Island.

• Thursday, Nov. 26 – Victoria (Room 123, Campus Centre, Camosun College Interurban Campus, 4461 Interurban Road, Victoria)
• Friday, Nov. 27 – Nanaimo (Community Futures, 420 Albert St., Nanaimo)
