ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA, U.S. — The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) and Kansas State University (KSU) are offering AFIA 520 – Advanced Feed Safety and Quality Assurance Protocols completely online, AFIA said on April 11.
The course was developed by KSU’s Department of Grain Science and Industry and North Carolina State University’s Department of Poultry Science along with leading industry experts to provide training and understanding of the industry’s increasingly complex requirements for quality and safety.
“Not only is safe food and safe feed customer driven, it is also driven by a need to comply with the upcoming Food Safety Modernization Act,” said Keith Epperson, AFIA vice-president of manufacturing and training. “Our industry has a clear focus to understand the requirements and be actively involved in compliance.”
The course starts on May 20, and will last for five weeks with participants working at their own pace and engaging in online discussion. The cost is $499 for AFIA members and $685 for non-members. Size is limited to 50 participants so early registration is recommended. Visit www.afia.org to register.
