On Monday July 13, Abby Snyder, Food Safety Specialist, Cornell University will discuss the basic requirements for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and how to prepare your business to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Small-scale food producers must complete required documentation to be compliant with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). This includes documentation of your size exemption as a “qualified facility” and various food safety programs. This webinar is intended for small (< $1 million in sales/year) food entrepreneurs and small food businesses, farm market managers, and directors of shared-use kitchens. This course is offered by Cornell University and made possible through a grant supported by the USDA.
