“Consumer Brands worked directly with regulatory agencies including the FDA and USDA to review all aspects of the training materials and courses to properly meet regulatory standards… We also wanted to make sure to convey what the agencies want production facilities to know. Because of this direct work, we are confident that the content covers all equipment and behaviors that are present in canneries. In addition to meeting regulatory standards, the content helps achieve our overall goal of promoting food safety.”
