For the fourth straight year, United Fresh will sponsor a short course on fresh-cut produce in Italy early this fall. The three-day "Quality & Safety of Fresh-Cut Produce" will take place September 27-29 at the Auditorium Castello Normanno-Svevo in Mesagne, Italy, and will feature several presentations from United Fresh Senior Vice President of Food Safety and Technology Dr. David Gombas.

"Year in, year out, we are proud and excited to sponsor this short course as a service to our European members in the fresh-cut convenience sector," said Gombas. "I am honored to join other instructors from some of the top research universities and companies in the United States and Europe for what promises to be an educational three days."

The program is designed for individuals from the fresh and processed fruit and vegetable industry, including food scientists, food engineers, quality assurance personnel and new product development staff.
