In line with continuing efforts to enhance the Complementary Food Production Facility and strengthen local food safety practices, DOST Misamis Occidental successfully conducted a Food Safety Orientation on August 26, 2026.
The training took place at the Complementary Food Production Facility Training Hall, IBJT Compound, Carangan, Ozamiz City. It was actively participated in by 9 production staff (6 males and 3 females, including 1 PWD) who are at the forefront of the city’s complementary food production.
Ms. Melanie O. Laude served as the resource speaker, guiding them with essential food safety standards. This orientation serves as a step in upgrading the skills of the staff and ensuring that proper food handling protocols are met. More importantly, this activity prepares the facility for its upcoming Food and Drug Administration – License to Operate (FDA-LTO) application.
Through science, technology, and safety standards, DOST and the Ozamiz Complementary Food Production team continue to work hand-in-hand to deliver safe, high-quality, and nutritious food products for the community!
