Winery Sanitation and Food Safety Compliance Webinar
May 21 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am PDT
Under Federal law, wineries are subject to Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requirements, which require, among other things, annual training in food safety, good manufacturing practices, and winery sanitation. This webinar will satisfy the federal mandate, but more importantly, it affords wineries the opportunity to reinforce the importance of good sanitation to wine quality/costs and to give their cellar crews the tools they need to do the best job possible!
Topics include an overview of Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP) that are expected under FDA’s regulatory jurisdiction and which are different than state requirements. Topics will inform attendees’ approaches for assessing cleaning and sanitizing programs in order to realize where deficits exist and make corrective actions. The webinar will also explain what records need to be kept and how to train all winery workers as part of an annual requirement.
Content and instruction is presented by Dr. Thomas Henick-Kling, Professor of Enology, and Dr. Tom Collins, Assistant Professor, Viticulture & Enology Program, Washington State University.
