Quality Assurance: Funding opportunity for Foreign Material Detection

There is currently funding available to help potato producers and packers off-set the costs of purchasing and installing metal detection systems for potato packaging.  Potato growers and packers can apply to the program and receive up to 50% of the total cost of purchasing and installing a metal detection unit, up to $15,000.  Certain conditions apply; the deadline for applications is October 31, 2015.  More details can be found here: http://novascotia.ca/programs/potato-assurance-system/
