SUMMARY:Beyond the Swab: How to Build a Smarter Listeria EMP
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nYour Environmental Monitoring (EM) program is only as good as what you’re actually trying to find and why. EM is your best tool for verifying that Listeria controls are working. When you swab with the intent to find Listeria if it’s there\, you generate real signal: gaps in cleaning execution\, equipment that harbors risk\, conditions that won’t fix themselves. This is the kind of data that drives improvement on the plant floor. \nBut when you get a positive\, what happens next matters as much as the finding itself: a positive result is not the “seek” in seek and destroy. Before you remediate\, investigate; look at what the environment is telling you. Identify the contamination source and the transfer vectors. Only then will your corrective actions hold.

SUMMARY:How Middle Managers Shape Food Safety Culture and Risk Performance
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nA mature food safety culture is not built through technical systems alone; it emerges through people who feel heard\, empowered\, and responsible. \nMiddle management is an often-overlooked sub-group that plays a large part in determining the food safety culture\, execution\, and risk performance of your food business. The key to unlocking meaningful change in a company’s food safety and quality culture—and its organizational culture—does not necessarily come from the top down. In fact\, this power often lies with middle managers. \nDrawing on findings from social psychology\, organizational management\, risk management\, and real-world case studies\, industry and culture experts will show how food safety and quality effectiveness and culture are impacted by organizational structure and resulting behaviors. Register today to learn how the “middle-up-down” approach helps inform managerial interventions that measurably improve FSQ culture\, organizational culture\, and business strategy. \nAttendees will:   \n\nThe value middle managers bring to the table in being accountable for day-to-day food safety work and translating intent into on-job behaviors\nHow to develop a high-power mindset in middle managers to effect meaningful FSQ culture change and prevent food safety risks\nHow investing in middle managers improves both FSQ strategy implementation and accountability across all levels of the company

SUMMARY:The Strip Was Right. The Decision Was Wrong.
DESCRIPTION:Register here \n\n\n\n\n[Webinar] Five ways a correct test result still ends in the wrong call at grain reception.\nA load arrives. The test result is negative. The grain is accepted. \nEverything seems straightforward. \nYet many professionals working with non-GMO programmes have experienced situations where confidence in a result did not translate into confidence in the final decision. \nWhy? \nThe answer is often found beyond the test strip itself. \nJoin Garrison Simon\, GMO Product Portfolio Manager\, for a practical discussion on common challenges that can influence GMO screening outcomes at grain reception. Drawing on years of experience in GMO testing\, product development and regulatory science\, Garrison will examine real-world examples and discuss where testing workflows can introduce unexpected risk. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll discuss \n\nWhy confidence in a test result is not always confidence in a decision\nWhere GMO screening workflows become vulnerable\nCommon challenges encountered at grain reception\nFactors that influence consistency and reliability\nPractical considerations for strengthening testing programmes\n\nWho should attend? \n\nGrain handlers and processors\nQuality assurance professionals\nLaboratory managers and technicians\nNon-GMO programme managers\nFood and feed manufacturers\nProfessionals responsible for GMO screening decisions

SUMMARY:Your food safety culture: Is it ready for SQF Edition 10?
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nSQF Edition 10 asks sites to assess\, document\, and improve their food safety culture. Whether yours reflects years of focused effort or a documented minimum you’re still building\, your auditor’s question will be the same: Can you show it’s working? \nMost early-stage culture plans restate the code and stop there\, but that won’t hold up. \nJoin Gary Smith and Kristin Kastrup as they break down what Edition 10 requires and where culture plans fall short. Drawing from their work with food manufacturers\, they’ll cover: \n– The evidence auditors will ask to see \n– How leading plants measure culture progress\, with real-world examples \n– Where a stronger culture can pay off: lower turnover\, fewer safety incidents\, and higher productivity \nWhat got you through Edition 9 won’t get you through Edition 10. Come see what will. \nLive Q&A: Bring your questions. The final segment is dedicated to answering them on the spot. \nYour presenters\nGary Smith\, Senior Director – Consulting\, Intertek Alchemy\nKristin Kastrup\, Senior Consultant – Training Strategy\, Intertek Alchemy

SUMMARY:Do More with Your Data: Practical Ways to Modernize Food Safety Testing
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFood safety teams are being asked to generate more meaningful information while managing limited resources\, increasing production demands\, and evolving retailer\, regulatory\, and consumer expectations. Strengthening a food safety program\, however\, does not have to mean more testing or adding complexity. \nThis webinar explores practical ways food processors can modernize sanitation verification and microbiological testing while keeping workflows simple and effective. We will examine common gaps in routine testing\, how to assess whether existing methods remain fit for purpose\, and how the data already being collected can be used to identify trends\, challenge assumptions\, and support continuous improvement. \nPractical examples will include total adenylate testing (ATP+ADP+AMP) to enhance hygiene verification and ready-to-use culture media to simplify routine indicator testing. The focus will be on getting more value from routine testing\, using better information to identify issues earlier\, guide action\, and make more confident food safety decisions. \nAttendees will learn how to: \n\nIdentify common gaps that can limit the effectiveness and efficiency of sanitation verification and routine microbiological testing\nSelf-evaluate testing methods and workflows\nExplore practical\, modern technologies\nTurn routine results into meaningful information using baselines\, trending\, appropriate action limits\, and continuous improvement

SUMMARY:HACCP Certified Food Safety
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nHACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological\, chemical\, and physical hazards from raw material production\, procurement and handling\, to manufacturing\, distribution and consumption of the finished product. \nHACCP is designed for use in all segments of the food industry from growing\, harvesting\, processing\, manufacturing\, distributing\, and merchandising to preparing food for consumption. Prerequisite programs such as current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) are an essential foundation for the development and implementation of successful HACCP plans. \nFood safety systems based on the HACCP principles have been successfully applied in food processing plants\, retail food stores\, and food service operations. The seven principles of HACCP have been universally accepted by government agencies\, trade associations and the food industry around the world. \nParticipants will learn how to identify food safety hazards\, establish control measures\, limits and monitoring procedures\, write and update a HACCP plan\, document and verify results and to prepare for audits. This training can be customized to fit the needs and current systems of your organization. We can deliver this training at your location or in our facilities. \nThis class is accredited by the International HACCP Alliance.​ \nTopics Covered:\n\nIntroduction to HACCP\nPre-Requisite Programs\nHazard Identification\nPreliminary Steps\nHazard Analysis\nCritical Control Points\nCritical Limits\nMonitoring\nCorrective Action\nVerification ad Validation\nRecordkeeping\n\nWhat trainees are saying about this class:\n“Great boots on the ground examples. Kept class interesting – lots of knowledge & real world experience” \n“Very informative class. The instructor was awesome!” \n“The trainer has by far been the best HACCP trainer I’ve had & never a boring moment for me” \nPlease click the following for a downloadable flyer of the Food Safety class schedule: Food Safety Summer/Fall 2026
