Today's complex global food supply chain, and pressure to provide safe food while staying within operational KPIs, is leaving already stretched-thin food safety operations struggling to keep up with regulatory and other safety requirements for delivering a safe product. This is why leading food & beverage companies are moving toward a risk-based approach to food safety. But how do you get there? This 60-minute webcast is a good place to start. Ms. Neumann will be discussing the:
- Benefits of a risk-based approach to food safety, including prioritization of FSQA resources, improved CAPA timeliness and proactive preventive controls
- Key types of risks the food industry needs to manage
- Key risk factors for F&B companies at each stage of the food supply chain
- Risk management process and keys to success
- Creation of preventive controls once risks are identified
- Documentation and record keeping needs for traceability and audit responsiveness
Ms. Neumann, who brings with her 15 years' experience in food law, regulatory/recall crisis management, food defense and traceability, will be joined by SafetyChain SVP and Co-Founder, Barbara Levin, who will provide an overview of how FSQA technology can support the risk management process.
