This Program begins January 31, 2024. 
Registration, which opens on 12/12/2023, is capped at 18 students to create an optimal student/trainer ratio.

The control of Listeria monocytogenes in fresh produce packinghouses and fresh-cut processing facilities remains a key challenge for the industry, and it is subsequently one of the leading subject areas where members seek individual support from the IFPA Food Safety team.

This program, developed in partnership with AFDO and Food Safety CTS, supports produce operations in understanding the technical, regulatory, and operational challenges associated with this environmental pathogen. This program is designed as a cohort experience to provide an expanded learning environment which will promote critical thinking, engaged problem solving, and peer-to-peer coaching.
