United launches new monthly webinar series

United Fresh Produce Association members are invited to log-in for a new, complimentary webinar series hosted by United’s Market Segment Boards and Expert Councils.

Each month, United’s volunteer leader groups will tackle a new topic on key issues impacting the industry. The first in the webinar series, hosted by the United Fresh Grower-Shipper Board, will address “Strategies for Limiting Your Legal Exposure in Recalls.” It will take place on Jan. 16 at 2 p.m. EST.

This one-hour webinar will help produce companies understand the legal consequences from foodborne illness outbreaks and recall events, and identify strategies that companies can use to avoid staggering financial losses and criminal charges in the future. This interactive webinar will include a question and answer period that provides participants the opportunity to engage with the speakers about issues facing their businesses. For individuals not able to attend on Jan. 16, the webinar will be recorded for viewing on United’s website. The webinar is offered in addition to United’s group of Recall Ready programs and services.

Registration for this valuable webinar is free to United Fresh members and $50 for non-members. Pre-registration is required and registration is limited.

The next webinar in the series, hosted by the Food Safety & Technology Council, is scheduled for Feb. 21. It will address how to use FDA’s Quantitative Risk Assessment to validate alternative food safety limits to those published in the proposed Produce Safety Rule.
