CPS Webinars
Bringing CPS-Funded Research to the Produce Industry
The Center for Produce Safety Webinar Series connects the produce industry directly with researchers working to address critical food safety challenges.
Join us throughout October for four webinars featuring CPS-funded researchers presenting their latest work on antimicrobial treatments, enteric virus survival, agricultural water risk and sanitation of food-contact surfaces.
Webinars are free to attend. Registration is required.
These session will be recorded and available at a later date for on-demand viewing.
