Effective Change Management (CM) for a strong Food Safety Management System (FSMS)

Effective change management is one of the most critical and most overlooked elements of a strong Food Safety Management System (FSMS). In the webinar we will be outlining the foundational principles that every organization must follow to ensure that changes to products, processes, equipment, materials, or personnel do not compromise food safety. This webinar will explore those core principles and connect them to today’s regulatory and industry expectations.

FoodChain ID – The Packaging Decisions You Make Today Will Set Your EPR Costs Tomorrow: Data, Specs, and Eco-Modulation

With EPR regulations, reporting requirements, and eco-modulation schemes coming online, the packaging decisions you make today will determine what you pay tomorrow. In this session, FoodChain ID will explore how companies can turn regulatory compliance fees into a competitive advantage by strengthening packaging specifications, automating data and EPR reporting, and planning for long-term source reduction. Join us to take a deeper look at the practical considerations behind everyday packaging decisions, including how to evaluate design and material trade-offs, improve data quality, and connect these choices to real compliance requirements and cost outcomes.

Food Safety Audits: Horror Stories and Lessons Learned

Food safety audits often reveal far more than gaps in documentation. They uncover the everyday habits, decisions, and cultural weaknesses that can quietly put products, consumers, and brands at risk. This webinar explores the real patterns behind audit “horror stories,” from records that do not match reality and ineffective corrective actions to allergen failures, pest activity, and weak food safety culture.

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.

Food Safety Consortium Conference

Plan to attend the Food Safety Consortium Conference in Washington DC. This year’s program will include the rise of AI in food safety and quality management, risk management and FSMA 15 years, later, where is food safety going? The event will focus on the convergence of policy, science, and best practices. With the conference being held near Washington, D.C., the program continues to emphasis on policy discussions, reflecting the growing need to address regulatory and legislative issues. The program will also prioritize the sharing of best practices, offering attendees the chance to learn from one another and engage in collaborative problem-solving on hot-button issues.

GFSI: Preparing for the Future

The webinar will explore the next chapter of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), offering insights into emerging priorities, strategic shifts, and the technologies shaping tomorrow’s food safety landscape. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how GFSI is adapting to meet the challenges of a dynamic global supply chain, including climate-related risks, digital traceability, and evolving regulatory expectations. The session will highlight key updates to benchmarking requirements, the role of third-party certification, and how GFSI is working to harmonize standards across regions while maintaining flexibility for innovation.

Food Safety Hazards Conference

The Food Safety Hazards Conference will take place April 20-22 in St. Louis MO. The Program is two and a half days of high-level panel discussions and educational presentations focused on the detection, mitigation, control and regulations of food safety hazards through technology, best practices and data analytics. The Hazards addresses in the program include Listeria, e-Coli, Salmonella, Allergens, Chemicals and Foreign Matter.
