What VITAL 4.0 implementation actually looks like

The VITAL 4.0 framework is well documented. What is harder to find is an account of what it looks like inside an actual facility – with real recipe complexity, real data collection demands, and real decisions about portion size, cleaning validation, and testing method selection.

This webinar provides exactly that. Cristina Romero, Senior Product Manager for Food Allergens at Romer Labs, presents two real VITAL 4.0 implementations: Altes Gewürzamt – a premium German spice manufacturer with 100+ recipes and six controlled allergens – and a global FMCG manufacturer managing allergen risk across a diverse food and nutrition portfolio. Both cases are presented with operational detail, and key learnings.

What you’ll take away

• Where VITAL 4.0 implementation proved more demanding than expected – and what each team did about it
• Why data collection consistently requires more effort than the calculation itself
• How portion-size assumptions can change a PAL decision – and why this variable deserves more scrutiny
• Where testing supports cleaning validation, product verification, and ongoing monitoring
• What to consider before starting your own VITAL implementation

Who should attend

• QA and QC managers in food manufacturing, food ingredients, and food service supply
• Food safety and regulatory professionals navigating PAL decisions and VITAL adoption
• Laboratory managers responsible for allergen testing method selection and validation
• Production managers involved in allergen management programme design
• Technical decision-makers in procurement and retail specifying allergen management requirements
