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:Chemical Elimination and Water Reuse for Sustainable Dairy Processing
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nBIOIONIX® was originally founded through a NASA grant focused on space shuttle water reuse. While developing advanced water-recycling technologies\, BIOIONIX inadvertently created a chemical-free sanitation platform capable of safely disrupting and destroying the DNA and RNA of harmful pathogens. Today\, this technology is applied to food and dairy processing to reduce reliance on traditional chemical sanitizers. BIOIONIX first entered cheese processing through chemical-free brine disinfection\, extending brine life\, improving product quality\, and delivering measurable savings in water\, labor\, and operating costs. The technology has since expanded to additional dairy applications\, including clean-out-of-place (COP)\, clean-in-place (CIP)\, and emerging on-farm use cases. For dairy membrane operations\, chemical-free sanitation presents both sustainability and operational benefits. Electrolyzed water systems generate hypochlorous acid on demand\, reducing long-term chemical exposure to membrane polymers while maintaining effective sanitation. Lower chemical aggressiveness is expected to reduce polymer degradation\, minimize micro-structural damage\, and help preserve pore and fiber integrity over time. In addition\, effective cleaning performance and reduced fouling stress support stable membrane operation without harsh acids or alkalis. The BIOIONIX system is also used to recondition and reuse process water and sanitizer. The BIOIONIX platform combines controlled electrolysis\, naturally occurring hypochlorous acid\, and nanobubble technology to enhance surface contact\, penetration\, and soil removal. The system is PMO-accepted\, EPA-registered\, and aligned with FDA and USDA guidelines for dairy applications.

SUMMARY:FSMA 204 in Practice: Building a Traceability-Ready Operation
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFSMA 204 is creating a major operational challenge for food safety\, quality\, supplier management\, operations\, and supply chain teams. For many businesses\, traceability data is still fragmented across suppliers\, customers\, third parties\, internal systems\, spreadsheets\, and paper-based records. \nThe challenge is not only understanding Critical Tracking Events (CTEs)\, Key Data Elements (KDEs)\, and Traceability Lot Codes (TLCs). It is knowing whether the right information can be captured\, validated\, connected\, and retrieved quickly when it matters most. Under FSMA 204\, covered businesses are required to maintain specific traceability records and provide them to FDA within 24 hours\, when requested. \nJoin Kevin Donaghy and Bill Bremer for a practical panel discussion on how food businesses can translate FSMA 204 into day-to-day operations\, evaluate the strength of their current traceability records\, and identify where traceability can break down across the supply chain. \nThe discussion will explore how businesses can move from fragmented records across systems\, spreadsheets\, and paper-based processes toward a more practical\, connected\, and defensible traceability readiness strategy. Attendees will gain insight into supplier coordination\, lot tracking\, documentation readiness\, recall response\, FDA-ready reporting\, and building a traceability approach that works in the real world\, not just on paper. \nKey takeaways for attendees: \n\nLearn how CTEs\, KDEs\, and TLCs apply to real-world activities in day-to-day operations\nExplore how to assess whether your records are complete\, accurate\, searchable\, connected\, and ready to support a 24-hour FDA request\nUnderstand common gaps that occur among suppliers\, customers\, third parties\, and internal teams\, and what businesses can do to improve coordination before an issue occurs\nLearn how food businesses can move from fragmented records toward a more reliable approach for recall response\, FDA requests\, and supply chain visibility

SUMMARY:Label Verification 101: Building a Bulletproof Process from Artwork to Shelf
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAbout This Session \nA mislabeled product is a recall waiting to happen. Allergen declaration errors\, formula changes that never made it to the artwork file\, marketing claims that outpaced what’s actually in the formulation\, label mistakes are among the most preventable sources of FDA enforcement action and consumer harm. \nIn this FSMA Friday session\, Tony Lukas\, Director of Food Safety and Dietary Supplements at The Acheson Group\, walks through what a solid label verification process actually looks like: mandatory vs. optional label elements\, how to document formula and label changes so your revision history holds up during an audit\, and which departments — R&D\, marketing\, regulatory\, operations — need a seat at the table before anything goes to print. \nIf your label review process lives in email threads and tribal knowledge\, this session is for you. \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nWhy label errors trigger recalls and FDA action and the specific gaps in documentation and sign-off that leave manufacturers exposed.\nWhat belongs on every label and what optional claims add risk including how PAL statements and marketing language can create compliance exposure.\nHow to document formula and label changes correctly so your revision history holds up when an auditor asks for it.\nWhich departments should be involved and when R&D\, marketing\, regulatory\, and operations all touch labels\, and misalignment between them is where errors hide.

SUMMARY:El Niño 2026/27 Live Session: What a Possible Strong El Niño Could Mean for Commodity Market
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nEl Niño is moving back onto the market’s radar.  \nNOAA’s ENSO outlook points to El Niño conditions developing in the coming months and potentially lasting into the Northern Hemisphere winter. The World Meteorological Organization has also flagged a high likelihood of El Niño conditions through the second half of 2026\, with implications for global temperatures\, rainfall patterns\, crop development\, and trade flows. \nThere is still uncertainty around how strong this event could become. Some forecasts point to a moderate-to-strong El Niño\, while others suggest the risk of a much stronger event. Current sea surface temperature trends are already being compared with previous major El Niño years\, including 1997/98 and 2015/16. \nFor commodity markets\, the question is not just whether El Niño develops. It is where the weather impact lands first\, how quickly it feeds into production risk\, and which supply chains are most exposed. \nJoin Expana’s live session on 25 June at 11 AM EDT / 4 PM BST\, where Expana’s specialists will give a clear read on the latest El Niño signal\, where forecasts agree and differ\, and what this could mean for key agricultural commodities\, logistics routes\, and cost pressures. \nThe session will start with the climate outlook\, then move into regional weather risks and the commodities most likely to feel the impact. \nWhat we’ll cover  \n\nHow strong could this El Niño become?\nA look at the latest sea surface temperature data\, the main forecast models\, and why agencies are not fully aligned on the potential strength of the event.\nLessons from previous El Niño years\nHow the current set-up compares with major events such as 1997/98 and 2015/16\, and what those years can \,and cannot\, tell us about the months ahead.\nRegional weather risks\n\nHow El Niño typically changes rainfall\, temperature\, storm activity\, and river levels\, and why the timing of those shifts matters for commodity markets.

SUMMARY:How Agentic AI Is Changing What's Possible in Dairy Operations
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nDairy operations have always generated enormous amounts of data. The question has never been whether to collect it; it’s been whether anyone has time to act on it before the moment passes. This session explores what changes when AI moves from reporting on the past to actively participating in what happens next. \n\n\n\n\nWhat We’ll Cover:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe shift that’s actually happening \nWhat separates agentic AI from the dashboards and analytics tools already in use\, and why the gap between knowing and doing is finally starting to close. We’ll ground this in the specific pressures facing dairy operators today. \n\n\n\n\nThree decisions that look different now \nA routing decision on a milk hauling network where small inefficiencies compound daily. A yield variance on the cheesemaking floor that doesn’t surface until the next shift review. An S&OP cycle where the analysis window shrinks the value of the output. What it looks like when AI is part of the loop\, not just the report. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat this means for the people making the decisions \nThe role of the planner\, the scheduler\, and the operations lead doesn’t disappear; it changes. We’ll talk about what human judgment is for when the system handles the first layer of response\, and how teams are actually adapting in practice. \n\n\n\n\nWhat to build toward and the questions worth asking now \nAn honest look at where this is heading over the next 12–24 months\, what separates organizations that will capture value from those that won’t\, and the specific questions every operator should be putting to their technology vendors.

SUMMARY:Living HACCP: Practical Steps for Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nMost food companies treat HACCP as an FSQA requirement. The binder on the shelf. The audit pass. The absence of non-conformances. Yet none of these tell us how food safety risks are really managed day-to-day when no one is watching\, or how people across functions understand their role in protecting the consumer. \nIn this webinar\, internationally recognized FSQA and food safety culture experts explore what HACCP can become when it shifts from a compliance-led activity to a risk-led\, people-focused system. Drawing on stories from real-life frontline experiences\, presenters will show how social norms shape the way hazards are understood\, how decisions are made\, and how well risks are understood and acted on across companies. \nParticipants will learn how organizational design\, cross-functional involvement\, and a strong focus on the frontline can move a business along this continuum. The discussion will show how HR\, operations\, engineering\, and FSQA each shape HACCP maturity. It will also explain why the FSQA team’s ownership of HACCP without it being lived within the plant can limit the organization’s progress. \nFrom this webinar\, attendees will:   \n\nUnderstand how social norms shape the way hazards are understood\, how decisions are made\, and how well risks are understood and acted on across companies\nLearn how organizational design\, cross-functional involvement\, and a strong focus on the frontline help transform HACCP from a compliance-led activity to a risk-led\, people-focused system\nGet more from their HACCP efforts by building a system that people live every day—one that makes risk visible and strengthens operational performance
