SUMMARY:Food Safety Webinar Series: Electronic and In-Person Food Safety Training
DESCRIPTION:The Uº£½ÇÉçÇø Extension Food Safety Webinar Series is a monthly\, expert-led educational series focused on practical food safety\, regulatory compliance\, and product innovation across the food system. Sessions cover topics such as electronic record-keeping\, workforce training\, chemical safety\, food adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, audit readiness\, product development\, environmental air quality\, and alternative protein innovations. The series is designed for food producers\, processors\, seafood businesses\, entrepreneurs\, quality assurance staff\, extension educators\, students\, faculty\, regulatory professionals\, and technical specialists\, with particular relevance for those working with food safety training\, compliance systems\, seafood hazards\, product development\, and emerging technologies in food processing. \nFood businesses and professionals face increasing regulatory expectations\, evolving hazards\, and rapid technological change. By addressing real-world topics such as digital compliance systems\, chemical handling\, adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, and audit preparation\, the series helps participants stay current and make informed\, practical decisions. Participants will gain practical tools\, real-world case studies\, and actionable strategies related to training programs\, compliance documentation\, safe chemical use\, adulteration prevention\, seafood safety\, product innovation\, and environmental controls—knowledge they can immediately apply in their operations\, classrooms\, or regulatory work. \nElectronic and In-Person Food Safety Training \nEffective training is a cornerstone of a strong food safety culture. This session will compare the advantages and limitations of electronic (e-learning) and in-person training modalities. We will explore how to design engaging and instructionally sound content for each format\, including interactive e-learning modules\, virtual instructor-led training (VILT)\, and hands-on classroom sessions. The webinar will also cover strategies for blended learning approaches\, methods to assess training effectiveness (e.g.\, quizzes\, observational audits)\, and how to maintain training records to demonstrate workforce competency to auditors and inspectors. \nTo Register and Receive Webinar Zoom Link

DESCRIPTION:Dr. Calderwood will be present at Extension Offices across the wild blueberry growing regions of º£½ÇÉçÇø this spring for one-on-one free consultations. Sign up for an hour and a half time slot to discuss anything from field management\, business planning\, how to get started with a new field\, expertise on a particular subject\, to sharing ideas about research and education efforts. \nWhile Lily has expertise on many subjects\, she is also an excellent person to connect you to the resources you need. Lily can visit your field instead of an office meeting\, however\, developing a field management or business management plan requires focused time at a table with a computer and other\nresources. \n\nDates: April 3\, April 28\, May 15\nTimeslots:\n\n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\n12:30 PM – 2:00 PM\n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM\n\n\nAddress: 992 Waterville Rd\, Belfast\, ME 04915\nCost: Free\n\nRegister here!
