SUMMARY:Why Packaging Chaos is Failing Modern Regulation
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nMany of the most costly failures in food and beverage don’t start in production. They start in specifications. \nA significant share of recalls trace back not to formulation errors but to packaging and labeling mistakes. An ingredient update doesn’t reach the label. Artwork moves forward without full regulatory context. Supplier claims can’t be substantiated. Approvals live in email instead of in an audit trail. \nThese aren’t isolated mistakes. They’re symptoms of fragmented specifications—product\, packaging\, artwork\, and supplier data managed across disconnected systems with no single source of truth. \nWhen specs don’t stay aligned\, small changes create real risk. \nAt the same time\, regulatory scrutiny is intensifying. In regions like the EU\, frameworks such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) are raising expectations around packaging\, sustainability claims\, traceability\, and documentation. Compliance now demands proof and control by default\, not after the fact. \nYet most teams are still managing specifications as static documents\, not as a connected system. \nIn this session\, we’ll explore:\n\nWhy fragmented specifications are driving recalls\, regulatory risk\, and launch delays\nHow disconnected packaging\, product\, and artwork workflows create hidden financial exposure\nWhat “audit-ready by design” really looks like in modern specification management\nHow to evolve specifications into a connected intelligence layer that governs change and surfaces risk early\nA 10-minute showcase of Packaging Specification Management\n\nYou’ll see how leading food and beverage teams are shifting from reactive compliance to a smarter\, connected model\, linking product\, packaging\, artwork\, supplier data\, and approvals into one controlled ecosystem. \nBecause in today’s environment\, disconnected specs aren’t just inefficient.They’re a recall and regulatory liability. \nReplace fragmented workflows with a connected foundation that reduces risk\, protects your brand\, and accelerates innovation\, without chasing compliance after the fact.

SUMMARY:Dry Sanitation and Cleaning Techniques for Facilities and Equipment
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFacility sanitation\, including equipment cleaning and decontamination\, must be approached differently in dry and low-moisture food processing plants. Water use in these facilities can promote microbial growth\, especially for pathogens like Salmonella that persist in dry environments. Processors must rely on alternative methods such as vacuuming\, brushing\, dry steam\, compressed air\, and low-moisture/no-rinse sanitizers to ensure a safe environment for producing food. Furthermore\, facility personnel must follow strict protocols for donning and doffing PPE to avoid introducing water residue\, and sanitation teams must follow a systematic\, top-down approach for equipment disassembly and cleaning. Environmental monitoring programs help confirm the efficacy of dry sanitation and equipment cleaning. \nIn this webinar\, experts from the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA)\, industry\, and academia will conduct a deep dive into the science\, industry guidance\, and practice of dry sanitation and equipment cleaning. Attendees will gain an understanding of the unique considerations for dry/low-moisture facility sanitation\, the hazards posed by improper or inadequate sanitation in these facilities\, and the techniques and best practices employed by dry/low-moisture food processors to ensure a clean facility environment for the production of safe food. \nFrom this webinar\, attendees will learn:  \n\nThe unique considerations and techniques for dry/low-moisture facility sanitation and equipment cleaning\nThe hazards posed by improper or inadequate sanitation\, including pathogenic contamination of food products and resident bacterial strains\nThe best practices employed by dry/low-moisture food processors for dry sanitation and equipment cleaning

SUMMARY:Verify and Issue Certificates the AI Way—Fast\, Compliant\, and Effortless
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAre certificate approval and generation processes slowing you down? \nFood manufacturers and packaging suppliers manage large volumes of Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) and Certificates of Conformity (CoCs) every day. Incoming certificates for purchased goods must be verified before use\, while certificates for finished products need to be issued quickly and accurately. Manual processes are slow\, error-prone\, and unsustainable as volumes grow—making automation essential. \nIn this exclusive webinar\, we will showcase how Intelligent Certificate VerificAItion (T/ICV) and Intelligent Certificate Generation (T/ICG) streamline certificate management. Powered by AI and Large Language Models (LLMs)\, T/ICV reduces average verification time from 20 minutes to under 5 minutes per document\, while T/ICG enables automated\, controlled certificate generation. \nKey takeaways: \n\nAutomatically extract and match data from certificates and specifications\nConfigure flexible layouts\, data sources\, and triggers for certificate generation\nTrigger workflows for manual intervention only when needed\nCentrally manage all inbound and outbound certificates with complete metadata and statusy\nExchange through GxP-ready workflows aligned with food safety standards
