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:FDA\, FSMA & AI: Navigating Regulation\, Data\, and Compliance Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFDA is building its framework for AI in food safety oversight. For most manufacturers\, the gap between where the agency is heading and where their operations actually stand is bigger than they’d like to admit\, and it’s not just a technology problem. \nIn this FSMA Friday panel\, Dr. Ben Miller\, Dean Brown\, and Chris Brandsey draw on backgrounds in regulatory science\, enterprise software\, and global technology implementation to tackle the questions food and beverage manufacturers are dealing with right now. \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nWhere FDA is headed on AI-assisted FSMA compliance\, and what that means for your audit readiness and food safety programs\nWhat makes or breaks AI in a regulated manufacturing environment: data quality\, governance\, and whether your organization is actually set up to act on what AI surfaces\nHow to build the internal case for moving forward and what manufacturers who’ve started already wish they’d known

SUMMARY:Protein Forecasting: Protecting Margins Through Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nVolatility across global protein markets is making poor forecasting increasingly expensive.\nPrice swings\, supply shocks\, and shifting demand across the US\, Europe\, and Asia–China are forcing procurement teams into reactive decisions\, often at the worst possible time. \nJoin Expana’s live Executive Intelligence Session on 23 April 2026 at 3:00 PM BST / 10:00 AM ET to explore how stronger forecasting can reduce costs\, improve timing\, and turn procurement into a strategic advantage\, with a focused lens on pork and chicken\, plus key signals across the broader protein complex. \nWe’ll cover: \n\nThe hidden cost of poor forecasting: Reactive buying\, missed windows\, and margin erosion in protein procurement.\nWhy protein markets are structurally complex: Feed costs\, supply concentration\, disease\, and demand volatility across interconnected regions.\nWhat high-quality forecasting looks like: Leading indicators and cross-market intelligence that separate winning strategies from common failures.\nSignals to watch and how to act: Key indicators signaling the next pricing inflection—and how to position ahead\, not react to volatility.

SUMMARY:Recordkeeping and Document Management for Food Safety Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nRecords are essential to ensuring food safety. They demonstrate that a food safety program is being properly managed and that the established critical limits are being met. In a facility food safety plan\, every prerequisite program and HACCP principle must be documented either electronically or manually: procedures must be developed\, logged\, and implemented for each element describing what is expected and how that element should be managed. When a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspector visits your facility\, they will look for a complete\, accurate\, and well-organized document management program-and will expect records to be readily available for their review. \nIn this webinar\, seasoned food safety experts with backgrounds in industry and regulatory will explain the fundamentals of recordkeeping and document control for your food safety plan. They will also discuss FDA’s perspective on document management and what inspectors expect from your recordkeeping program. \nFrom this webinar\, attendees will learn:\n. Why recordkeeping and document control are essential to food safety and business\nmanagement\n. FDA’s guidance on document management for your food safety plan\n. How a complete\, accurate\, and well-organized document management program makes\nregulatory inspections go more smoothly

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.

SUMMARY:The Invisible Plant Tax: Why Proactive\, Collaborative Execution Drives Food Safety and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFood and beverage manufacturers have more digital tools and data than ever — yet plants still rely on reactive effort and manual coordination to protect food safety and performance.
