May 2008 Plant Tour: Freybe Gourmet Foods (Langley)
“Welcome to our first Lunch and Learn Session”
We are very pleased to be able to combine our 2008 Plant Tour with an opportunity for a “Lunch and Learn” session at Freybe Gourmet Foods of Langley.
Freybe can trace its history back 160 years to Stettin Germany where Johann Carl Freybe began his sausage making business. Six generations later, the Freybe family is now producing over 120 varieties of sausages, ham, and specialty deli meats which have earned over 600 international medals, so come and explore everything about Freybe!
What we will learn about during the 60 minute tour is how Freybe is able to manufacture a high variety of products in a high volume manner with a very high level of care. The tour will show us the “process flow” nature of food production while outlining the controls that need to be in place to track and monitor each item that is made back to its source ingredients.
Lunch will be served in the “Deli School” after the tour to allow you to sample some of the fine products that Freybe makes while discussing the tour with those that participated.
In order to minimize disruption of the plant activities we are limiting the tour to three groups of 10 people. When you register you will be assigned to one of the 11:00, 11:15 or 11:30 time slots. An APICS representative will greet you at the door where you will be asked to “sign in” to the Plant (please note: valid picture identification will be required as part of the Food Safety Program, all visitors to the plant must show valid identification – entering a Food Plant these days is almost like passing through airport security – which is reassuring in a way). Safety shoes will not be required. Each visitor will be provided with a lab coat, hair net and foot covers (no open toed shoes will be allowed). All visitors will also be asked to remove all visible jewelry and are reminded that even though the weather outside is nice (we hope) that you are walking into a refrigerated environment and should wear warm clothing.
We look forward to “doing lunch” with you!
