SUMMARY:Don’t Wing It: Bird Control for Food Processing Facilities
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nBirds may seem harmless from a distance\, but inside and around food processing facilities\, they can create serious food safety\, compliance\, and operational challenges. From contamination risks and employee safety concerns to structural damage and audit findings\, nuisance birds can quickly become a costly problem if left unmanaged. \nJoin Orkin Entomologist Ian Williams for a free\, educational webinar and live Q&A\, where you will learn why managing bird activity should be a priority for your business\, the complexities involved in effective bird control\, and proactive strategies to help protect your facility. \nIn this webinar\, we will cover: \n\nHow to identify signs of bird activity in or around your facility\nThe safety\, compliance\, and operational risks birds pose to food processing facilities\nWhy successful bird control is more complex than it appears\nProactive steps you can take to help minimize and prevent bird activity

SUMMARY:Positive Nutrition Broadcast Series 2026: Clean label
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nWhat’s new and next in clean label? Food and drink manufacturers are now facing government led\npressure for clean label on top of consumer demand\, with regulatory moves such as additive bans\naccelerating reformulation timelines and turning once voluntary removals into non negotiables. \nWhat’s next is fragmentation\, as brands navigate regulatory defined clean label in some markets\,\nintensifying ultra processing debates in others\, and rising pressure to prove functionality\, sustainability and\ncost competitiveness. This will make reformulation strategy\, not marketing\, the real battleground.

SUMMARY:Inside CFIA: The Inspection Blitz and What Inspectors Actually Look For
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nAbout This Session \nAn unannounced CFIA visit doesn’t test what you know. It tests what you can prove\, on the spot\, with the systems you have running today. Cameron Prince\, who spent years as CFIA’s Vice President of Operations\, is walking through how inspectors actually approach a facility visit during the current blitz: what triggers heightened scrutiny\, how findings get escalated\, and what’s different this time versus previous inspection cycles. \nYou’ll leave with: \n\nThe specific documentation and system readiness gaps that drive CFIA findings\nA facility self-assessment framework modeled on actual CFIA inspection priorities\, so you can close your gaps before an inspector shows up

SUMMARY:From Crisis to Control: A Listeria Elimination Journey in Food Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThis webinar presents a real-world case study from a food processing facility facing a critical and persistent Listeria challenge—with near-100-percent detection rates on a machine that standard protocols had consistently failed to resolve. The session will walk through how sensitive Listeria detection (down to <1 cfu/g) revealed established contamination niches previously missed by conventional sampling\, and how a targeted closed-cleaning engineering intervention reduced per-machine cleaning time from 1.5–2 hours to just 10 minutes while achieving more than a 5-log Listeria reduction. It will also examine how results were immediate—machines went from near-100-percent positive to effectively zero from the first cleaning cycle. \nThe session will also demonstrate how digital trending of microbiological data—with full historical records and automatic\, ongoing laboratory integration—gave the producer a complete and actionable picture of their Listeria status and history\, for the first time. \nKey takeaways for attendees: \n\nValidated in-house Listeria testing reveals contamination niches\nAutomated closed cleaning reduces time\, energy\, water\, and chemicals\nImmediate elimination: 5-log Listeria reduction from the first cleaning cycle\nDigitized data and real-time monitoring enable better control of food safety and quality
