Glen Copack’s two-year effort to create a food co-packing business that meets the Food Safety Modernization Act regulations while providing employment for people with and without disabilities has reached a major completion milestone.
There is a thrill that comes with crossing the finish line after a long race.
Glen Copack’s two-year effort to create a food co-packing business that meets the Food Safety Modernization Act regulations while providing employment for people with and without disabilities has reached a major completion milestone.
We have crossed that finish line. The 6000 square-foot renovation to build a facility with multiple food production spaces was fully realized on August 24 with the first 100 gallon production run of a Jerlando’s Ristorante and Pizza Co.’s pizza sauce.
Our Glen Copack staff was excited to work with Jerlando‘s (located near Glen Copack in Watkins Glen, NY) as the inaugural production in our wet kitchen.
The Jerlando’s family was equally excited with multiple members of the family attending and assisting with the production.
The new Glen Copack production space has been designed to allow for multiple simultaneous productions of both wet and dry products with enough space to maintain preventive controls for allergen management and cross contamination prevention.
With all of our resources available and fully operational we are looking forward to growing Glen Copack as the area’s quality food production facility for food entrepreneurs.
