NCDA&CS Food Safety Forum

COMMISSIONER’S FOOD SAFETY FORUM REMINDER


We are one week away from the 9th Annual Commissioner’s Food Safety Forum and there is still time to register and be a part of this important food safety event!   The forum is open to farmers, food businesses, regulators, health professionals and others with an interest in food safety.  Admission is free and includes lunch.

Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler will host the event from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on August 27th in the Expo Center at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, NC. 

“The Food and Drug Administration is proposing sweeping reform of food safety regulation in the United States,” Troxler said. “The forum will focus on the proposals from the perspective of the federal government, retailers and farmers. Anyone interested in food safety is encouraged to attend and learn about these issues affecting food safety at all levels of the supply chain.”

To reserve a seat at the forum, please register at www.ncagr.gov/ncfoodsafetyforum by August 21.    If you have any questions, please contact Chrissy Waggett at 919-707-3008 or Christina.Waggett@ncagr.gov

We look forward to seeing you in Raleigh next week!
