Food Safety for the Southeast Nut Industry
In the heart of peanut and pecan country, keeping every nut and nut product safe to eat is a demanding, high-stakes job — and the standards, threats, and best practices behind it never stop evolving.
That's why it is critically important for PTNPA Members across the region — owners, operators, Quality Assurance experts, and food safety professionals — to gather for a day of crucial discussions on the actions needed for food safety.
Sessions dig into oil roasting validation, sanitation best practices for wet and dry cleaning, water leakage in low-moisture, ready-to-eat (LMRTE) environments, the latest from UGA's peanut breeding advancements, and more.
Join the discussion then stay for the Southeast Networking Reception to connect with the people driving it forward.
