Audience... Supervisors of acidified food processing operations and food container closure operations.

Purpose... Each processor of acidified foods is required to operate with a certified supervisor on hand at all times during processing. This school provides the necessary training to certify supervisors of such processes. This school DOES NOT satisfy the requirements for low acid thermal processing. Individuals requiring low acid certification need to attend the Oregon Better Process Control School, January 26-29, 2009.

Certification...The Oregon State University Acidified Foods School is recognized by the FDA and follows the prescribed course of instruction for certification. The two-day course addresses operations of acidified food processing systems, glass packaging systems and container closure inspection. Examinations are given for each section and are standardized by the Food Processors Institute with the approval of the FDA who specify 70% as a passing score.

The FDA receives a list of names of individuals who have passed the prescribed course. Participants who pass receive a certificate issued by Oregon State University.
