Training Webinar for Organic Handlers:
June 14
On June 14, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS)
National Organic Program (NOP) is holding a one-hour training webinar for organic handlers. The topic is
Organic Integrity in the Supply Chain.
Organic handlers play a vital role in the global organic
control system, which includes
strict production standards; accreditation of certifiers; certification of
farmers, processors and handlers; and enforcement.
AMS has identified violations of organic regulations involving shipments of soybeans and corn entering the U.S. and enforcement actions are underway. We are investigating other evidence related to other shipments of soybeans and corn.
To help guard the integrity of organic imports, this training webinar
focuses on the role of organic system plans and recordkeeping systems in
ensuring organic integrity of imports, and highlights critical control points that
will be audited during inspections.
All organic handlers are encouraged to attend this broadcast
webinar. Because we expect a large number
of attendees, this webinar will be “broadcast only.” You will be able to hear
us, and will be able to chat questions to us using your keyboard.
