Produce Safety Research

The produce industry often looks to the Center for Produce Safety for the latest in applied research, and rightfully so. But there's actually a lot of produce safety research going on. During this Virtual Town Hall, we'll give a recap of CPS highlights, a preview of what we're looking forward to learning more about at the International Association for Food Protection and Institute of Food Technologists annual meetings, and dive into other resources the produce industry should explore when looking to update practices based on science and research. The panel will feature representatives from USDA and other public-private partnerships to give attendees a view of the breadth of research available.
