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: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: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:Don’t Wing It: Bird Control for Food Processing Facilities
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nBirds may seem harmless from a distance\, but inside and around food processing facilities\, they can create serious food safety\, compliance\, and operational challenges. From contamination risks and employee safety concerns to structural damage and audit findings\, nuisance birds can quickly become a costly problem if left unmanaged. \nJoin Orkin Entomologist Ian Williams for a free\, educational webinar and live Q&A\, where you will learn why managing bird activity should be a priority for your business\, the complexities involved in effective bird control\, and proactive strategies to help protect your facility. \nIn this webinar\, we will cover: \n\nHow to identify signs of bird activity in or around your facility\nThe safety\, compliance\, and operational risks birds pose to food processing facilities\nWhy successful bird control is more complex than it appears\nProactive steps you can take to help minimize and prevent bird activity

SUMMARY:From Crisis to Control: A Listeria Elimination Journey in Food Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThis webinar presents a real-world case study from a food processing facility facing a critical and persistent Listeria challenge—with near-100-percent detection rates on a machine that standard protocols had consistently failed to resolve. The session will walk through how sensitive Listeria detection (down to <1 cfu/g) revealed established contamination niches previously missed by conventional sampling\, and how a targeted closed-cleaning engineering intervention reduced per-machine cleaning time from 1.5–2 hours to just 10 minutes while achieving more than a 5-log Listeria reduction. It will also examine how results were immediate—machines went from near-100-percent positive to effectively zero from the first cleaning cycle. \nThe session will also demonstrate how digital trending of microbiological data—with full historical records and automatic\, ongoing laboratory integration—gave the producer a complete and actionable picture of their Listeria status and history\, for the first time. \nKey takeaways for attendees: \n\nValidated in-house Listeria testing reveals contamination niches\nAutomated closed cleaning reduces time\, energy\, water\, and chemicals\nImmediate elimination: 5-log Listeria reduction from the first cleaning cycle\nDigitized data and real-time monitoring enable better control of food safety and quality
