SUMMARY:FDA Proposes Major GRAS Reform: What It Could Mean for Your Business
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) August 2026 proposed GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) rule could significantly change how companies establish and document GRAS status in the U.S.\, including potential FDA notification requirements. What does the proposal require\, and how could it affect current practices? \nFDA proposes to replace the existing voluntary GRAS notification framework with mandatory notification requirements\, but important questions remain about scope\, implementation\, enforcement\, and FDA resources. Join our speakers for a practical discussion of FDA’s proposal\, the changes it could bring\, and the questions that remain. Topics will include existing self-GRAS conclusions\, food-contact substances\, FDA resources\, related congressional GRAS reform efforts\, and general steps companies can consider as the rulemaking process continues. \nAttendees will:   \n\nUnderstand the changes FDA is proposing and areas that may remain unchanged\nExamine potential implications for self-GRAS\, Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) GRAS\, and food-contact substances\nReview key questions involving implementation\, enforcement\, and FDA resources\nConsider practical steps that organizations can take now to prepare as the rulemaking process moves forward

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.
