SUMMARY:Beyond Sanitization: Reducing Contamination Risk Without Raising Operating Cost
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFood safety teams are being asked to manage more risk on tighter margins\, and traditional methods keep scaling cost with production: more chemicals\, more labor\, more downtime. Meanwhile\, the largest food contact surface in any plant\, the ambient air\, is often the least monitored. The U.S. recorded 296 food recalls in 2024\, of which pathogens drove 39 percent; the average recall costs $10 million before litigation. \nThis 30-minute session shows how continuous hydroxyl-based air and surface treatment closes the gap between sanitation cycles\, working in occupied space alongside your existing program\, with documented outcomes from meat\, beverage\, dairy\, and bakery facilities. \nKey takeaways for attendees: \n\nWhy ambient air is the largest and most overlooked contamination zone in food processing\, and what it costs you between scheduled cleans\nHow continuous treatment reduces airborne and surface microbial load in occupied\, active production environments without shutdowns or chemical residue\nThe real economics: cost-per-square-foot\, chemical and labor reduction\, recovered production days\, and documented payback timelines\nField-proven results\, recovering production days and payback in under 12 months

SUMMARY:Beyond Sanitation: Understanding the Hidden System Conditions That Allow Pathogens to Persist
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nDespite significant investments in cleaning and sanitation\, environmental monitoring\, and corrective and preventive action (CAPA) programs\, many food manufacturers continue to experience recurring contamination events and persistent environmental pathogens. \nThe challenge is often not a single sanitation failure\, but a combination of hidden system conditions that allow microorganisms to survive\, spread\, or reappear over time. Moisture management\, hygienic design\, air movement\, traffic patterns\, harborage sites\, and human behaviors can all influence the effectiveness of traditional sanitation programs. \nJoin us to learn and discuss: \n\nCommon limitations of conventional dry and wet sanitation approaches\nWhy recurring contamination events may signal broader system vulnerabilities\nStrategies for strengthening environmental control programs through a layered approach to pathogen management\nEmerging technologies\, including DHP® technology\, that complement traditional sanitation programs to support continuous environmental control and proactive pathogen management in food production environments\, along with real-world examples and insights from industry experts

SUMMARY:The Commodities Most Likely to Cost You: A Fraud Risk Primer for F&B Manufacturers
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAbout This Session \nFood fraud isn’t new\, but adulteration methods are getting more sophisticated and enforcement remains reactive. Most manufacturers only discover a supplier integrity problem after the damage is done\, often during an audit or after a recall. This session is designed to help FSQA and operations teams understand the risk before it becomes their problem. \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nWhich ingredients are most commonly adulterated: The specific commodities  where substitution and dilution are most prevalent\, and what to watch for.\nWhat food fraud actually costs your operation: Beyond ingredient overpayment\, the real exposure sits in recalls\, rework\, brand damage\, legal liability\, and how those risks compound.\nHow FDA defines Economically Motivated Adulteration: What 21 CFR Parts 117 and 507 require from your food safety program\, and where most facilities have gaps they don’t know about.\nWhy detection is harder than it looks: The practical challenges of cost of testing\, foreign supplier oversight\, and the limits of documentation that make EMA a persistent problem even for compliant operations.

SUMMARY:FSMA 204 in Practice: Building a Traceability-Ready Operation
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFSMA 204 is creating a major operational challenge for food safety\, quality\, supplier management\, operations\, and supply chain teams. For many businesses\, traceability data is still fragmented across suppliers\, customers\, third parties\, internal systems\, spreadsheets\, and paper-based records. \nThe challenge is not only understanding Critical Tracking Events (CTEs)\, Key Data Elements (KDEs)\, and Traceability Lot Codes (TLCs). It is knowing whether the right information can be captured\, validated\, connected\, and retrieved quickly when it matters most. Under FSMA 204\, covered businesses are required to maintain specific traceability records and provide them to FDA within 24 hours\, when requested. \nJoin Kevin Donaghy and Bill Bremer for a practical panel discussion on how food businesses can translate FSMA 204 into day-to-day operations\, evaluate the strength of their current traceability records\, and identify where traceability can break down across the supply chain. \nThe discussion will explore how businesses can move from fragmented records across systems\, spreadsheets\, and paper-based processes toward a more practical\, connected\, and defensible traceability readiness strategy. Attendees will gain insight into supplier coordination\, lot tracking\, documentation readiness\, recall response\, FDA-ready reporting\, and building a traceability approach that works in the real world\, not just on paper. \nKey takeaways for attendees: \n\nLearn how CTEs\, KDEs\, and TLCs apply to real-world activities in day-to-day operations\nExplore how to assess whether your records are complete\, accurate\, searchable\, connected\, and ready to support a 24-hour FDA request\nUnderstand common gaps that occur among suppliers\, customers\, third parties\, and internal teams\, and what businesses can do to improve coordination before an issue occurs\nLearn how food businesses can move from fragmented records toward a more reliable approach for recall response\, FDA requests\, and supply chain visibility

SUMMARY:Label Verification 101: Building a Bulletproof Process from Artwork to Shelf
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAbout This Session \nA mislabeled product is a recall waiting to happen. Allergen declaration errors\, formula changes that never made it to the artwork file\, marketing claims that outpaced what’s actually in the formulation\, label mistakes are among the most preventable sources of FDA enforcement action and consumer harm. \nIn this FSMA Friday session\, Tony Lukas\, Director of Food Safety and Dietary Supplements at The Acheson Group\, walks through what a solid label verification process actually looks like: mandatory vs. optional label elements\, how to document formula and label changes so your revision history holds up during an audit\, and which departments — R&D\, marketing\, regulatory\, operations — need a seat at the table before anything goes to print. \nIf your label review process lives in email threads and tribal knowledge\, this session is for you. \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nWhy label errors trigger recalls and FDA action and the specific gaps in documentation and sign-off that leave manufacturers exposed.\nWhat belongs on every label and what optional claims add risk including how PAL statements and marketing language can create compliance exposure.\nHow to document formula and label changes correctly so your revision history holds up when an auditor asks for it.\nWhich departments should be involved and when R&D\, marketing\, regulatory\, and operations all touch labels\, and misalignment between them is where errors hide.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Food Safety: Eliminating Biofilm and Building a Smarter Food Safety System
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nTraditional sanitation methods were not designed to address the full complexity of today’s food safety challenges. Persistent pathogens\, biofilm formation\, and harsh chemical limitations continue to create risk across food production environments from farm to processing facilities. \nIn this webinar\, NomadX will introduce a modern approach to decontamination that goes beyond surface-level cleaning. Learn how ultra-pure chlorine dioxide (ClO257) is being deployed to effectively penetrate biofilm\, reduce pathogen load\, and integrate into real-world operational workflows without the drawbacks of legacy products. The session will also touch on how advanced decontamination fits into a broader\, proactive food safety system—where improved sanitation\, enhanced sampling\, and emerging same-shift pathogen detection capabilities work together to help ensure contaminated product never leaves the facility. \nKey takeaways: \n\nWhy traditional sanitation methods fall short against biofilm and persistent pathogens\nHow ClO257 differs from other sanitation products in efficacy and usability\nPractical applications across food production environments (water lines\, equipment\, facilities)\nHow decontamination integrates into a broader food safety system\, including emerging same-shift detection

SUMMARY:VITAL 4.0 in Practice: How two manufacturers applied allergen risk assessment - and what they learned along the way
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThursday\, 18 June 2026 \n\nSession 1: 9:00 AM CEST (Berlin) / 3:00 PM SGT (Singapore)\nSession 2: 9:00 AM ET (New York) / 3:00 PM CEST (Berlin)\n\nLanguage: English \nLive captions available in German\, Spanish\, Italian\, Portuguese\, Hungarian and Greek \n\nWhat VITAL 4.0 implementation actually looks like \nThe 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. \nThis 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. \nWhat you’ll take away \n\nWhere VITAL 4.0 implementation proved more demanding than expected – and what each team did about it\nWhy data collection consistently requires more effort than the calculation itself\nHow portion-size assumptions can change a PAL decision – and why this variable deserves more scrutiny\nWhere testing supports cleaning validation\, product verification\, and ongoing monitoring\nWhat to consider before starting your own VITAL implementation\n\nWho should attend \n\nQA and QC managers in food manufacturing\, food ingredients\, and food service supply\nFood safety and regulatory professionals navigating PAL decisions and VITAL adoption\nLaboratory managers responsible for allergen testing method selection and validation\nProduction managers involved in allergen management programme design\nTechnical decision-makers in procurement and retail specifying allergen management requirements

SUMMARY:Living HACCP: Practical Steps for Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nMost food companies treat HACCP as an FSQA requirement. The binder on the shelf. The audit pass. The absence of non-conformances. Yet none of these tell us how food safety risks are really managed day-to-day when no one is watching\, or how people across functions understand their role in protecting the consumer. \nIn this webinar\, internationally recognized FSQA and food safety culture experts explore what HACCP can become when it shifts from a compliance-led activity to a risk-led\, people-focused system. Drawing on stories from real-life frontline experiences\, presenters will show how social norms shape the way hazards are understood\, how decisions are made\, and how well risks are understood and acted on across companies. \nParticipants will learn how organizational design\, cross-functional involvement\, and a strong focus on the frontline can move a business along this continuum. The discussion will show how HR\, operations\, engineering\, and FSQA each shape HACCP maturity. It will also explain why the FSQA team’s ownership of HACCP without it being lived within the plant can limit the organization’s progress. \nFrom this webinar\, attendees will:   \n\nUnderstand how social norms shape the way hazards are understood\, how decisions are made\, and how well risks are understood and acted on across companies\nLearn how organizational design\, cross-functional involvement\, and a strong focus on the frontline help transform HACCP from a compliance-led activity to a risk-led\, people-focused system\nGet more from their HACCP efforts by building a system that people live every day—one that makes risk visible and strengthens operational performance

SUMMARY:Understanding the Impact of Pathogenic Spores on Milk Safety: From Farm to Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nSpore-forming pathogens present a persistent and complex challenge in dairy production\, with significant implications for product safety. These microorganisms\, particularly species of Clostridium and Bacillus\, are highly resilient in spore form\, capable of surviving pasteurization and other heat treatments\, and are commonly introduced through farm environments such as soil\, silage\, water\, and bedding. \nThis webinar will provide a focused exploration of spore-forming pathogens in the dairy supply chain\, beginning at the farm level and extending through processing and finished products. We will examine the primary sources and transmission pathways of spores\, and how on-farm practices directly influence downstream risks\, and mitigation strategies at the farm and processing levels. \nThe session will also cover current and emerging detection methods\, risk monitoring approaches\, and targeted mitigation strategies. By connecting farm management practices with manufacturing outcomes\, this webinar aims to equip dairy professionals with practical\, actionable strategies to mitigate risk\, improve milk quality\, and enhance product performance. \nLearning Objectives: By the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the major spore-forming pathogens relevant to dairy production (e.g.\, Clostridium spp.\, Bacillus spp.)\, including their biological characteristics and resistance mechanisms.\nExplain the primary on-farm sources and transmission pathways of spore contamination\, including the role of silage quality\, hygiene practices\, bedding materials\, and environmental exposure.\nAnalyze the impact of spore-forming pathogens on dairy processing and finished products\, including their role in dairy safety and quality.\nEvaluate current detection\, enumeration\, and monitoring methods for spore-formers\, including their advantages\, limitations\, and appropriate applications across the supply chain.\nApply targeted and integrated control strategies to reduce spore loads\, linking on-farm interventions (e.g.\, feed and hygiene management) with processing controls (e.g.\, clarification\, filtration\, thermal strategies\, etc).

SUMMARY:Seek and Destroy: Responding to Listeria Positives
DESCRIPTION:Register here \n\nAbout This Session\nListeria doesn’t hide\, it travels. When your Environmental Monitoring program flags a positive\, what you do next either fixes the real problem or just delays it. In this FSMA Friday session\, Steven Tsuyuki\, Food Safety Senior Advisor of The Acheson Group\, breaks down the Seek and Destroy framework: an investigation-first approach that traces exactly where Listeria came from and how it moved — before anyone picks up a mop. If your team keeps chasing positives without closing them out for good\, this session is for you. \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nWhy the Listeria Control Equation matters and how one weak link across traffic patterns\, GMPs\, sanitation\, floors\, or equipment design opens the door to your next EM positive.\nWhat “Seek” actually looks like: your team runs a CSI-style investigation to trace where Listeria came from and how it moved before you touch a single piece of equipment.\nHow to destroy the right way: targeted investigative swabbing\, rinsate sampling\, and corrective actions that eliminate the risk instead of papering over it with an SOP.

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.
