Presented by Food Safety Tech, the Food Safety Consortium—taking place October 16-18 in Parsippany, New Jersey—brings together food safety and quality assurance professionals for education, networking and discussion geared toward solving the key challenges facing the food safety industry today.
Morrine Omolo, Ph.D., Food Safety Extension Specialist in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Minnesota, highlights the challenges—and opportunities—for food safety professionals amidst the burgeoning Cottage Food industry, and shares her journey from the child of a farm manager to a career in food safety research and training.
The food industry is facing unprecedented challenges when it comes to ensuring the safety and security of the global food supply chain. A risk-based approach focused on prevention, continuous improvement, and stakeholder collaboration is needed to be proactive in identifying and managing potential risks throughout the food supply chain. By adopting new practices, the food industry can ensure a safe and secure food supply chain.
The Food Safety Consortium will take place October 16-18, 2023, in Parsippany, New Jersey. This year’s conference will include a new Food Safety Hazards Track and co-location with the Cannabis Quality Conference.
The strategic plan lays out three core goals with strategies for implementation and expected outcomes.
Mandatory incident reporting is on its way. However, it should not be viewed as a replacement for voluntary industry action. Voluntary collaboration with industry peers will remain a core component of food and agriculture industry cyber risk management.
Increased cybersecurity breaches across all sectors have proven that no industry is immune to attacks. With food companies responsible for food safety, a smooth supply chain and confidential formulation protection, they need to know how to protect their data and assets. NSF experts break down what food companies need to know about cybersecurity and what they can do to increase data protection.
The 2023 Biennial Conference for Food Protection (CFP) will take place on April 24-28, 2023. Stakeholders can submit issues for consideration now through January 23.
