Regional Salmonella Summit announced


    The Poultry Federation announces plans for a regional Salmonella Summit scheduled for March 26-27, 2013 at Cherokee Casino & Hotel in West Siloam Springs, Oklahoma. This summit includes speakers from academia and industry and covers live production through plant Salmonella interventions in the turkey and broiler industry.
    "We believe it's beneficial for the industry to come together to discuss this important topic to help improve all of our food safety systems as it relates to Salmonella," stated Shane Acosta of Cargill and chairman of the summit. "We have exceptional speakers and with such a large concentration of the poultry industry in the northwest Arkansas and western Oklahoma area, we couldn't think of a better place to host such a Summit."
    Advance registration for the conference is $100 through March 22 and on-site registration is $150.00. Attendees are asked to register online at the Poultry Federation's website, where the program for the summit can also be found.
    Hotel arrangements should be made directly with host hotel, Cherokee Casino & Hotel at +1.800.754.4111, before Monday, March 18 to obtain the group rate of $69+ tax per night. The group code is Salmonella Summit.
