North Carolina Cooperative Extension and North Carolina Sea Grant along with the NC State University Seafood Laboratory announce a Basic Seafood HACCP Workshop to be held on February 16-18, 2010 at the Center for Marine Sciences and Technology (CMAST) in Morehead City, N.C.

This annual, two-and-a-half-day workshop is designed for personnel in regulatory agencies, the seafood industry, particularly distributors and processors, and others who are required to have an FDA Seafood HACCP Plan in place for handling fresh seafood and seafood products.

Cost is $150 per person which includes training, course books and certification fee. Upon successful completion of the workshop, participants will receive from the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) certification of course completion. Registration deadline is February 11. Space is limited, so please register early.

On the last day of the workshop (Feb. 18), "Segment II" training is offered for those who have completed an online Basic Seafood HACCP training available through Cornell University. Cost is $50 for the online course and $100 for Segment II training. Segment II is the required classroom portion needed to complete the online training and is necessary in order to receive HACCP certification from AFDO.  See the Cornell University Web site.
