Each year the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) offers a full slate of scientific education and training workshops on topics such as food labeling, thermal processing and product recall. GMA is the industry's trusted provider of scientific training, with a staff of experts, many holding Ph.D.'s, robust laboratory capabilities and the tremendous wealth of industry knowledge about science, technical and regulatory issues that GMA has gained over its 102 year scientific history.

GMA workshops are designed to make the most of your time and precious financial resources, giving you professional training at prices only GMA can offer. Just because your budget may have been cut in this challenging economy doesn't mean your education should be shortchanged.
