SUMMARY:Achieve Active Managerial Control of Major Risk Factors Using a Food Safety Management System
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nIn a retail foodservice establishment\, a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) is essential for identifying potential hazards and managing their necessary controls during food preparation and service. According to the FDA\, an FSMS includes three elements: written procedures\, training plans\, and monitoring of the HACCP-defined controls by managers. Together\, these elements within the FSMS provide a means to control specific operational steps that enable the Active Managerial Control (AMC) of risk factors contributing to foodborne illness. AMC using an FSMS is now a requirement in the FDA Food Code\, and evidence of an FSMS will be required for foodservice establishments during future inspections. \nIn this webinar\, experts from industry\, regulatory agencies\, and public health departments will review the elements and functions of an FSMS and discuss how to work with the local health department to successfully achieve or strengthen AMC in a foodservice business. They will also provide perspective on the relationship to and benefits of using FSMSs in multi-unit foodservice chains\, and how an FSMS enables the integration of enterprise strategy\, rapid innovation\, and improved execution of operations. \nFrom this webinar\, attendees will learn:  \n\nChanges to the FDA Food Code\, which now includes a requirement for FSMS\nThe need for FSMSs and how they control the top five risk factors to achieve AMC\nHow a local health department helps foodservice businesses achieve AMC and how it will inspect for AMC when it becomes a requirement\nHow foodservice chains should prepare for the new requirement\, and how investment in FSMSs can enable rapid innovation and strategic operational improvements for large foodservice chains

SUMMARY:Systematic Approach to Hazard Analysis: Considering Product- and Process-Specific Risks
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFood safety assurance is informed by risk assessments—i.e.\, the “HA” (hazard analysis) in “HACCP.” Industry is responsible for ensuring that a hazard analysis is conducted properly and thoroughly for each product\, and that these risk assessments meet regulatory requirements set by FDA and USDA. With hazard analysis and critical control points (or CCPs) often being considered together under HACCP\, the necessary product- and process-specific approach to hazard analysis is sometimes overlooked or inadequately addressed. In this webinar\, microbiology experts and industry veterans from the leafy greens/fresh produce and meat/poultry sectors explain the importance of taking a systematic approach to hazard analysis by conducting product- and process-specific risk analysis for food products\, particularly commodities that are considered to be “high risk. \nFrom this webinar\, attendees will learn:   \n\nWhy hazard analysis is an essential part of every food safety plan\nThe importance of conducting a systematic hazard analysis that considers product- and process-specific risks\nWhere and why hazard analysis can fail\, especially for high-risk products like leafy greens and meat/poultry
