9 January 2016. Sojagnon (a PAEPARD supported consortium) in Partnership with the Soybean Innovation Lab (SIL) held a webinar entitled “Hygienic Practices for Food Safety in Small and Medium Sized Businesses.”
Hygienic practices for handling, preparing, and storing food not only preserve the food’s nutrition and protect consumers from food-borne illness, but also help producers reduce food waste, garner trust to their brand, and increase business profits.
Food safety is especially important for producers who serve those with compromised immune systems, including those living with HIV/AIDS, illness, the elderly, pregnant women, and infants. Emphasis will be placed on using resources available in your community to implement a safe food handling system in your own production room.
