Take pleasure in the possibility to viewchoose sessionsstreamed live from the Summit at no charge.
On Tuesday, May 7 from 12:30– 2:30 pm CT a panel of federal government and market professionals will share their insights throughout a two-hour workshop on Traceability– Best Practice Sharing. Traceability programs are an essential part of food security and quality programs. The style and management of these programs has actually represented obstacles and chances for business throughout the supply chain. FDA’s Final Food Traceability Rule, launched in November 2022, presents regulative traceability requirements for a variety of foodstuff. As the application date of January 2026 techniques, business are determining required adjustments to their traceability programs, in addition to concerns on compliance to the guideline. The panelists will share their insights into the execution of the guideline, go over difficulties business are dealing with as they get ready for the guideline, and evaluation actionable options. The session is being sponsored by SafetyChain. Click on this link to sign up for the live streaming.
Speakers consist of Tim Jackson, Ph.D., Senior Science Advisor, FDA; Kathleen O’Donnell, Chief Scientist, Wegmans Food Markets; Rosalind Zils, Vice President and Head of Global Quality Nutrition, Reckitt; Andy Kennedy, Co-Founder, New Era Partners (previously FDA); Christopher Waldrop, M.P.H., Senior Health Scientist, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, FDA; Michael Lookup, Traceability Lead, Wegmans Food Markets; Patrick Guzzle, Vice President of Food Science and Industry, National Restaurant Association; and Drew McDonald, Vice President of Quality and Food Safety, Taylor Farms
On Thursday, May 9 from 8:00 am– 9:00 am CT Alvin Lee, Ph.D., Director, Center for Processing Innovation, Institute for Food Safety and Health, Illinois Institute of Technology; Purnendu Vasavada, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Food Science, University of Wisconsin-River Falls; and Brendan Niemira, Ph.D., Research Leader, Agricultural Research Service, USDA will provide New Era, Old Problems: Emerging and Re-Emerging Pathogens.
