SUMMARY:Meat Institute’s Foreign Material Maturity Model—What and How
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nForeign material prevention remains one of the most persistent and costly challenges in protein production. To support industry-wide improvement\, the Meat Institute developed the Foreign Material Maturity Model (FMMM)—a structured framework that helps organizations assess readiness\, identify gaps\, strengthen prevention programs\, and drive continuous improvement across multiple plants and processes. \nThis highly interactive session brings together leading processors to discuss how the model works in real operations\, what it takes to get started\, and the lessons learned from implementation at scale. The session begins with a live audience poll to understand current awareness\, adoption\, and ownership of FM prevention across facilities. \nMatt Thomas of Tyson Foods will provide a brief overview of the model’s development and the purpose behind its creation—setting a common foundation for discussion. A moderated panel conversation will then explore practical applications and strategies through the lens of four major protein companies.

SUMMARY:FSMA at 15: Where Are We Now?
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThe Food Safety Modernization Act was signed into law on January 4\, 2011. FSMA resulted from a collaboration among industry\, consumer groups\, and government and was the most sweeping modernization of the food program since the 1930s. This session will discuss the vision\, what has been accomplished so far\, what remains to be accomplished\, and whether the vision of FSMA has been realized.

SUMMARY:Advanced Sanitation Strategies for Allergen Risk Reduction in Food Processing
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAllergen control in food processing is trending toward a more risk-based approach\, with the Codex Committee on Food Labeling (CCFL) considering the management of Precautionary Allergen Labeling (PAL) using thresholds and action levels\, along with adoption of best allergen control practices including sanitation. In the U.S.\, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reviewing the Codex considerations and other allergen safety concerns (such as gluten cross-contact) for potential industry guidance and changes to allergen management best practices. \nIn this webinar\, experts from the Food Allergy Research and Resource Program (FARRP) at the University of Nebraska and Kerry Group will consider the dynamics of validation and verification for allergen control\, along with how analytical tools can help support a standard of “visually clean.” They will also explore risk-based concepts and best practices for allergen management\, particularly regarding sanitation procedures for various processing environments (e.g.\, dry/low-moisture)\, the benefits of analytical testing\, and the provision of PAL statements. \nFrom this webinar\, attendees will learn:   \n\nCurrent and developing guidance for allergen management best practices\nWhy validation and verification are necessary for allergen control\, and how analytical tools can support allergen management programs\nRisk-based concepts for allergen management and best practices for sanitation

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:A Practical Guide to Spoilage Investigation and Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nRoutine testing can flag spoilage\, but it often doesn’t explain root cause—or how to prevent recurrence. In this educational webinar\, Justin Cabrita and Dr. Martin Wiedmann share a practical\, investigation-driven approach to spoilage prevention using SMARTBIOME™ from bioMérieux—an innovative solution that combines high precision DNA analysis\, advanced bioinformatics\, data science\, an exclusive spoilers knowledge base\, and expert consulting. \nYou’ll learn how strategic sampling across raw materials\, in process environments\, and finished products can uncover hidden microbiological risks\, identify likely sources of spoilage\, guide targeted corrective actions\, and help verify the effectiveness of interventions. By translating complex microbiome data into actionable insights\, this approach helps reduce non-quality costs\, minimize scrap\, and strengthen confidence in product quality—while protecting your brand. \nKey takeaways: \n\nHow to progress from detection to root cause understanding and prevention\nHow metagenomics can help identify potential sources of spoilage risk in raw materials\, in-process\, and finished products\nHow microbiome insights can inform corrective and preventive strategies\, illustrated through real-world use cases\n\nThis session will focus on concepts\, examples\, and ways of thinking\, rather than prescriptive testing or corrective action plans\, which are highly site-specific.
