Document Development Program
Click here to go to our Online
Document Development Program.
The Document Development program is a step by step, easy to use interactive manual builder.
The manuals are designed to help shippers, growers, and produce suppliers reduce the risk
of microbial, chemical or physical contamination from the field to the distribution of
fresh produce. It is provided at no cost for the United States Food Safety Manuals to
comply with USA retailers and markets.
PrimusLabs.com has converted the Document Development Program (DDP) from an Adobe Acrobat .pdf
file to a Microsoft Word .doc file. In layman’s language, you can now download and edit,
as well as print your manuals. If you prefer to continue working in Acrobat .pdf format,
that option is also still available to you.
This change will provide you with greater flexibility. You can now alter tables and logs to
fit your specific needs. You can now add digitized images, charts, diagrams, etc.
that better define your own food safety programs. We are making this change as part
of PrimuLabs.com's ongoing effort to bring you the most useful food safety programs possible.
