Join us for a hands-on food safety workshop as part of an applied research project at Virginia Tech exploring effective cleaning methods for removing allergen residue.

Designed for food producers, households, and community feeding volunteers, this workshop will cover:

• Cleaning and sanitation basics

• Proven protocols for allergen residue removal

• Methods for detecting allergen residue

Participants will practice cleaning techniques and test surfaces for allergens, gaining skills they can use in both home and commercial settings to prevent cross-contact.
