CPS hosts free virtual educational event

The Center for Produce Safety (CPS) is hosting a webinar series following its successful 15th annual Research Symposium held June 18-19 in Denver.

The symposium attracted a wide audience of industry producers, processors, regulators, and public health officials from around the world.

Attendees selected three final research reports to be featured in the upcoming webinars. Each webinar will focus on a different project, with scientists discussing their goals, methods, and findings. A live Q&A session will allow participants to engage with the experts.
