May 5, 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT
Acidified foods are considered risky because a product that is not produced correctly may cause serious illness to those who consume it. For this reason, acidified foods have their own specific set of regulations as outlined by the Code of Federal Regulations and in the Food Code (Special Processes 3-502.11).
This online sharing session will provide local retail food regulators with high-level food safety knowledge and understanding regarding acidified foods.
Participants will have the opportunity to virtually exchange ideas with their peers throughout the session and get their questions answered.
