Commercial Food Sanitation to Open Food Safety Training Facility in New Orleans
Commercial Food Sanitation is set to open its first stand-alone training facility, CFS Institute North America, at the Intralox global headquarters in New Orleans on Oct. 3. The facility will be a place for CFS technical experts to help food processors worldwide implement preventive programs that mitigate and prevent critical food safety challenges, according to a release.
The 13,700-square-foot facility will be home for CFS trainings and certifications, including its Sanitation Essentials Training, Hygienic Design Training, and Advancing Sanitation Impact Training.
The facility also features three laboratories, providing real-life plant environments for training participants. Additional collaboration spaces in the facility enable learning and cross-functional collaboration among food manufacturing professionals in engineering, quality assurance, sanitation, and operations roles as they are educated on risk reduction, operational efficiency, and long-term food safety performance, the release said.
“Our new facility will be a hub for food industry collaboration, learning and innovation,” says Darin Zehr, CFS general manager. “This facility is purpose-built to support the food manufacturing industry and its professionals with cutting-edge resources and a collaborative environment.”
CFS Institute North America is a part of a global network with training offered in Amsterdam; São Paulo; Shanghai; Monterrey, Mexico; and Melbourne, Australia. CFS says it has trained over 5,300 participants at its global training centers to date.
Located at the Intralox global headquarters in New Orleans, the facility will be a place for CFS technical experts to help food processors worldwide implement preventive programs that mitigate and prevent critical food safety challenges.
“This new facility is more than just a space; it’s a place where we can instill a true passion for food safety and empower teams through hands-on education,” says CFS Global Training Manager Nicole Cammarata. “By combining training with real-world application, we’re not only helping provide safer food to the world but also shaping a culture where food safety is the top-priority.”
CFS, an Intralox company, is committed to building a safer global food supply by helping food processors worldwide to implement preventive programs that mitigate and prevent critical food safety challenges, the release says. Using robust education programs and customer-centric consulting, CFS says it helps food manufacturers instill a companywide passion for food safety and sustained improvement to efficiency and productivity.
