Michigan Sea Grant, Michigan State University Extension, and the Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission are offering Seafood HACCP Training this December 10-12, 2024, in Brimley, Michigan!
What is Seafood HACCP?
The Association of Food and Drug Officials and the Seafood HACCP Alliance have developed a uniform and cost-effective AFDO/Alliance hazard analysis & critical control point (HACCP) training program for fish and fishery products. The primary purpose of the AFDO/Alliance HACCP Training Protocol is to assist the implementation of HACCP programs in commercial and regulatory settings. The primary audience is the seafood processing and importing industry, and regulatory officials based in the United States. The Basic HACCP course teaches the principles of HACCP and empowers processors to develop HACCP plans specific for each seafood product they handle or produce.
Registration is required and participants must attend the entire course to receive their certificate.
Location: Bay Mills Resort & Casino, Brimley, MI
Course Registration Cost: $160
