United Fresh and the USDA-AMS have partnered to bring the industry the Produce Inspection Training Program. 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!
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 Labs course includes inspection of the five most commonly requested commodities: Grapes, Lettuces, Potatoes, Strawberries, and Tomatoes, plus up additional commodities based on the attendees' most common preferences (up to 12 total!).
*Attendees must attend the Fundamentals Course as a pre-requisite to the Commodity Labs
Companies who register three or more attendees for both the Fundamentals & Commodity Labs Courses will receive a $100 a discount off each registration fee. Registrations must be received at the same time, for the same course.
Sign up your team to become more proficient and knowledgeable about quality control standards, inspection grading, USDA produce procedures and requirements, and much more!
