Upcoming FST Events & Webinars

March 26, 2026 – 13:00:00 – 14:00:00
Foreign Material Contamination: How CT Inspection Unlocks New Visibility

In this Food Safety Tech webinar, FlexXray explores how computed tomography (CT) inspection delivers true 3D visibility inside finished products, revealing contaminants that conventional in-line systems can miss. We’ll explore how producers can lean on external inspection services that use CT to salvage more product from potential foreign material contamination and how to build a third party partnership into your response and mitigation protocols.

April 8, 2026 – 14:00:00 – May 27, 2026 – 16:00:00
Advanced Strategic Root Cause Analysis (RCA) & Corrective Action and Preventive Action (CAPA) Online Training Course

This intensive 8-week project-based online training course is tailored for professionals in the food industry, delivering advanced, science-driven Root Cause Analysis (RCA) skills to investigate high-stakes food safety failures—such as pathogen contamination, allergen cross-contact, foreign material incidents, or product recalls—while developing defensible corrective actions, regulatory compliance under FSMA and standards like SQF/BRC, and measurable risk reduction. The course features weekly 2-hour online sessions blending shared theory instruction, hands-on application to real-world projects from participants' organizations (e.g., persistent Listeria in RTE facilities or Salmonella in dry-blending), and progress reporting for peer feedback.

April 8, 2026 – 13:00:00 – 14:00:00
Touchless, Continuous Pathogen Control: Introducing DHP®, a Novel Method for Enhancing Sanitation Programs
