United Fresh and the USDA-AMS have partnered to bring the industry three Produce Inspection Training Programs in 2012. This unique program is designed to provide real, hands-on instruction from USDA experts to anyone involved in the produce supply chain - grower to retailer.
 If you receive, handle, buy, ship, or sell produce - this course is for you!
“Our field inspectors are responsible for ensuring the best
quality is distributed to our stores so we can exceed the needs of our
customers,” said Keith Johnson, Western Area Manager, Kroger-Wesco. “It
is imperative that they are trained and educated with a universal process and
language - and that is exactly what the United Produce Inspection Training
Program has to offer.”This specialized training consists of two courses: Fundamentals of Produce Inspection and Commodity Labs. The 2-day Fundamentals Course is a classroom-based program that covers grading, standards, tolerances, PACA, sampling procedures, and more.
The 3-day Commodity Labs course focuses on hands-on commodity inspections in the lab. Each Commodity Labs course includes inspection of the five most commonly requested commodities: Grapes, Lettuces, Potatoes, Strawberries, and Tomatoes, plus up to 7 additional commodities based on the attendees' most common preferences.
