Regulatory Education Sessions and "How To" Workshops for Small and Very Small Plants
As part of the initiative to enhance outreach to assist small and very small plants outlined in the FSIS strategic implementation plan (PDF Only), FSIS is holding a series of regulatory education sessions. The sessions will include a walk-through of a variety of topics, which may include HACCP, Sanitation Performance Standards, Sanitation SOPs, Rules of Practice, Food Defense strategies, and E. coli O157:H7.

Starting in January 2009, FSIS will hold a series of "how to" workshops to provide practical tools and methods for proper application and compliance.

Online registration forms are provided for both the regulatory education sessions and the "how to" workshops. Pre-registration helps us plan for the meetings but is not required. To register by phone instead, call 1-800-336-3747.
Regulatory Education Sessions: E. coli O157:H7
These sessions will cover Prerequisite Programs and FSIS Notices 65-07, 66-07 and 68-07 (PDF Only Links).
