The American Feed Industry Association and Eurofins have announced plans to jointly host two back-to-back animal feed programs this spring.

Each course is limited to only 25 participants.
The interactive HACCP course will focus on developing and implementing an animal food safety plan based on the principles of HACCP. Eurofins training is based on the Codex Alimentarius HACCP guidelines, which formed the foundation for future Global Food Safety Initiative approved safety schemes.
