Dairy Plant Food Safety Workshop – Hosted by Darigold and Tillamook

The Dairy Plant Food Safety Workshop is designed to help dairy processing facilities improve pathogen control practices including PEM, sanitation, and sanitary design. The workshop is applicable for both wet and dry sanitation facilities and was developed by dairy industry professionals for the benefit of the industry through the non-profit Innovation Center for US Dairy.
The instructors are food safety leaders from companies across the dairy industry who share their knowledge and experiences to advance food safety across the industry. The training includes lectures, Q&A sessions, and hands-on exercises:

  • Best practices for GMPs, floors, and separation of raw and ready-to-eat (RTE)
  • Introduction to pathogen microbiology, sanitary design, sanitation, and SSOP development
  • Pathogen Environmental Monitoring (PEM), swabbing, vectoring, corrective actions, and record keeping

This is an interactive session where participants learn from multiple instructors as well as their peers from other companies. Small group exercises reinforce key concepts around evaluating equipment, swabbing techniques, PEM plans, and developing SSOPs.

 Who Should Participate
This workshop has been designed for employees who are involved with pathogen-control programs, regardless of title or current role. Attendees typically include plant managers, production supervisors, sanitation, engineering, maintenance, and all levels of corporate and plant quality teams.
