With the help of the egg industry and academia, the U.S. Poultry & Egg Assn. (USPOULTRY) has introduced two new online training program modules: “Fresh Shell Egg Refrigeration for Packing Plants” and “Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) for Poultry Feed.”

According to USPOULTRY, the egg refrigeration module is the first of a series of training modules dedicated to informing egg packing plant personnel about the requirements and basic practices necessary to comply with food safety systems.

The cGMP module is designed to demonstrate the basic practices that comply with the Food Safety Modernization Act's Preventive Controls for Animal Food rule, USPOULTRY said. The module focuses on poultry feed mills, but it can be easily adapted to other animal feed operations, the organization added.

Both modules are self-paced and interactive. These modules are part of a new USPOULTRY Learning Management System (LMS) that is free to USPOULTRY members. The LMS can be accessed by visiting the USPOULTRY website at www.uspoultry.org/training. For more information and to register for this course, contact Rafael Rivera at [email protected].

USPOULTRY is an all-feather organization representing the complete spectrum of the poultry industry, with a mission to progressively serve member companies through research, education, communication and technical assistance. Founded in 1947, USPOULTRY is based in Tucker, Ga.
