Missouri Enterprise, Mo Department of Agriculture, Mo Workforce Development, Workforce Investment Boards, and the Meat Processors Association team up to hold a variety of food sector workshops and certification sessions throughout the state. From providing the latest food safety regulations and practices, equipping farmers markets with resources to sustain/grow their business, and certifying team members with HACCP, they have your food company covered.
In an era of social media where information about food recalls and foodborne diseases can be shared in seconds to millions of people around the world— it is more important than ever for food producers to increase safety and elevate public confidence in our food system. In fact, every operation serving/selling food should have a safety system in place that is designed specifically to guarantee that the food being served is safe to eat (*requirements vary based on food sector, product, location, number of employees, etc.). Missouri feeds the world — let’s work towards a safer & more profitable food industry in the Show-Me State.
