Cost is only $25 per manual! Email us to submit an order!
The goal of any farm is to produce fresh fruits and vegetables that are safe for consumers to eat and enjoy. The Pacific Northwest is known for its output of delightful and delicious berries as well as other produce. To preserve this reputation, all agricultural workers need to be thoroughly trained in good practices that promote health and hygiene.
We hope that this bilingual manual can be used by trainers who are responsible for teaching the importance of reducing the risk of food contamination by human pathogens. Each of the ten sections details an important topic related to health, hygiene, or food safety. At the end of each section, the instructor will find questions to encourage discussion and review of the information. The last section in the manual is dedicated to trainers; here they will find information about FSMA and the Produce Safety Rule, as well as a checklist with recommended topics to cover during a food safety training. Remember, clean produce leads to happy, healthy consumers!
The ten sections in the manual are:
- A. Keep Pathogens Out!
- B. Human Pathogens!
- C. Wash Your Hands!
- D. Use the Bathroom!
- E. Harvest Time!
- F. Break Time!
- G. Visitors!
- H. Domestic and Wild Animals!
- I. Packing the Harvest!
- J: For the Trainers!
