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:AI-Powered S&OP in the Dairy Industry
DESCRIPTION:Register here \n\n\n\n\nVolatility in milk supply\, shifting demand patterns\, and razor-thin margins are making traditional planning tools obsolete — and dairy S&OP is harder than almost any other category. Perishability\, seasonal intake swings\, and yield complexity create planning challenges that generic tools simply weren’t built for\, and those pressures are only intensifying. \nThis session explores where AI actually makes a difference: multi-signal demand forecasting\, real-time supply balancing\, and scenario stress-testing that handles the trade-offs that overwhelm traditional planning. Concrete examples include demand forecasting that accounts for promotions and customer behavior\, and milk allocation models that optimize across the entire product mix. \nThe session also addresses how to get started without getting overwhelmed — the biggest mistakes organizations make when adopting AI\, and the practical first steps that actually work. No perfect data or massive budget required. A forward-looking close covers where AI in dairy is heading\, and why the window to get ahead of it is now\, not later. \nPortions of this webinar will be pre-recorded. If you have specific questions you would like answered\, please submit them before Wednesday\, April 15 – HERE​  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Agenda: \n\nWelcome & Introduction\nDairy Industry S&OP Challenges\nAI’s Role in Dairy S&OP\nPractical AI Applications\nImplementation Insights\nClosing Thoughts

SUMMARY:From Benchtop to In-Line for Compositional Analysis of Milk
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nBenchtop analyzers for compositional analysis of dairy samples are traditionally based on FT-IR spectrometers. Benchtop FT-IR analyzers have repeatability and accuracy necessary to serve as the reference measurement for samples used to calibrate in-line analyzers. Direct transfer of calibrations from the benchtop FT-IR analyzers is not possible as most in-line analyzers are based on Near-Infrared technology. \nBruker Optics introduced an FT-NIR based benchtop analyzer for measurement of fluid dairy samples nearly 10 years ago. The instruments have been certified by IDF and ISO as having accuracy and reproducibility comparable to the reference methods for compositional analysis of dairy products. Moreover\, the FT-NIR benchtop instruments utilize the same spectral range as instruments used for in-line analysis. This begs the question if calibrations developed on a benchtop FT-NIR spectrometer can be transferred to measurements performed using an in-line FT-NIR. \nIn this presentation\, we will explore the advantages and potential challenges of transferring PLS calibrations from a benchtop FT-NIR to inline FT-NIR measurements. WE will discuss the practical limitations due to measurement cell design\, sample type\, temperature\, and flow rate for the in-line system.

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.
