Last week, IGP hosted the NFGA-KSU FSMA-HACCP course in the building. This three-day course covers the Food Safety Modernization Act and allows participants to earn both FSMA and HACCP certifications. We still have two FSMA-HACCP courses available this year in September and November, so don’t miss your chance to earn these valuable certifications.
