HACCP Training Coming to Maine!

Exciting news from Dirigo Quality Meats.  I am going to take an International HACCP Alliance accredited "Train the Trainer" course in DC in March.

This means that I am going to be able to off high quality, accredited, close, HACCP courses here in Maine.  No more traveling for HACCP courses for Maine producers and processors!

Over the coming months I will start offering the following IHA approved courses

• Introductory Course for Development of HACCP Plans for Meat and Poultry Establishments
• Executive Briefing on HACCP
• Sanitation Standard Operating Procedure (SSOP) Course
• Introduction to HACCP

In addition, I am going to work with Cooperative Extension to design a one day HACCP course that will give an overview of risk analysis and the HACCP approach to food safety.  This course will satisfy training requirements for regulating bodies.

It is important to note that for processors trying to achieve SQF certification, their SQF practitioner must have a certificate from a HACCP course.  The four courses listed above will satisfy that requirement.

If you are interested in taking one of the courses, I'd love to hear from you. Send an email to michele<at>dirigoqualitymeats<dot>com.
