WEST COAST SEAFOOD SENSORY WORKSHOP
October 13-14, 2010
Glenn M. Anderson Federal Building
501 W. Ocean Boulevard, Suite 1200
Long Beach, CA 90802
The National Fisheries Institute, in cooperation with U.S. Food and Drug Administration, USDC/NOAA- Seafood Inspection Program (SIP), and the University of California-Davis Seafood Extension Program, invites you to participate in an introductory level course for inspectors, quality control professionals, purchasing agents, and anyone wishing to polish their sensory skills. This workshop will take place at the USDC/NOAA facility in Long Beach, California on October 13 and 14.
Species to be presented are tuna, both natural and carbon monoxide treated, red and chum salmon, shell on shrimp, and mahi mahi. Lectures during this class will cover the basics of sensory evaluation as well as current issues in imports and sensory evaluation at FDA, etc. Note that this two day course led by Jim Barnett (FDA Retired) and USDC experts is primarily a “hands-on” sensory course on decomposition detection in seafood. You will learn FDA sensory evaluation methods and what FDA considers decomposed seafood.
The workshop will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Don't delay and register today!
Note: Government issued identification is required (i.e., passport or driver's license) for entry into the building.
