WG Science, in collaboration with the Arizona and California LGMAs, is hosting a two-part webinar series to share current knowledge and best food safety practices for leafy greens operations during transition periods, which have been identified as times of vulnerability requiring particular vigilance.

Topics to be covered will include industry efforts to prevent leafy greens food safety issues during transition periods, an overview of current and ongoing research into the seasonality of romaine outbreaks, considerations for leafy greens food safety programs, and potential food safety evaluation tools. Both webinars are scheduled for one hour.

Following the webinar series, additional resources will be provided to help minimize seasonal risks during transition periods.
