Cornell University’s Department of Food Science is offering a workshop in Fluid Milk Packaged for Consumption – Processing & Testing for Quality & Safety November 12-14, 2013. The program will be held in the Food Science Conference Center, 148 Stocking Hall on the Cornell Campus in Ithaca, NY. It begins 8:00 AM on Tuesday, November 12 and will end by 1:00 PM on Thursday, November 14.
This workshop is designed for those involved and interested in fluid milk processing and testing with the intent of providing training and tools to support and improve on quality assurance and safety programs for bottled milks. It will be instructed by Cornell Dairy Foods Extension staff and industry experts. While the course design assumes participants have some prior knowledge of dairy microbiology & processing (e.g., Basic Dairy Science Course), critical concepts will be reviewed and expanded on for those who do not. This course can be taken as a stand-along program, but it also fulfills the core training requirement of a Cornell Dairy Foods Certificate for Fluid Milk after all required prerequisite courses have been taken (e.g., Basic Dairy Science & Sanitation, HACCP, HTST). A complete program follows.
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Enrollment is limited to 30 participants and will be on a first-come, first-serve basis, so please send your registration as soon as possible. The course fee is $350.00 per person for NY companies; for companies outside New York State the fee is $420.00. Materials, breaks and lunch (November 14 & 15 only) are included in the registration.
