United Fresh Produce Association is offering a new Recall Ready Seminar designed specifically for US importers of fresh fruits and vegetables. During this full-day course, importers will learn the unique role they play during a recall and what they can do to be prepared to handle a food safety recall. Speakers will discuss importers’ responsibilities, liability, food safety considerations, and crisis communication needs during a recall and US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) investigation. The seminar also includes a table-top recall exercise in which groups are presented with unexpected events that require them to go through the recall decision-making process and execution.

This curriculum is tailored for importers as defined by the FDA: “US owners or consignees of fresh produce at the time of entry into the United States, or US agents or representatives of a foreign owner or consignee.” Managers, sales personnel, purchasing agents, quality assurance staff, and logistics managers at importing companies will all benefit from attending this seminar. The United Fresh Recall Ready Importer Seminar will be held June 16, 2015 at the Hilton Miami Airport Hotel in Miami FL.

In addition to this new Importer Seminar, United Fresh’s Recall Ready Program includes multiple-day workshops, custom executive management training, and various recall planning and simulation services.
