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: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: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: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:Beyond Sanitation: Understanding the Hidden System Conditions That Allow Pathogens to Persist
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nDespite significant investments in cleaning and sanitation\, environmental monitoring\, and corrective and preventive action (CAPA) programs\, many food manufacturers continue to experience recurring contamination events and persistent environmental pathogens. \nThe challenge is often not a single sanitation failure\, but a combination of hidden system conditions that allow microorganisms to survive\, spread\, or reappear over time. Moisture management\, hygienic design\, air movement\, traffic patterns\, harborage sites\, and human behaviors can all influence the effectiveness of traditional sanitation programs. \nJoin us to learn and discuss: \n\nCommon limitations of conventional dry and wet sanitation approaches\nWhy recurring contamination events may signal broader system vulnerabilities\nStrategies for strengthening environmental control programs through a layered approach to pathogen management\nEmerging technologies\, including DHP® technology\, that complement traditional sanitation programs to support continuous environmental control and proactive pathogen management in food production environments\, along with real-world examples and insights from industry experts

SUMMARY:Beyond Sanitization: Reducing Contamination Risk Without Raising Operating Cost
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nFood safety teams are being asked to manage more risk on tighter margins\, and traditional methods keep scaling cost with production: more chemicals\, more labor\, more downtime. Meanwhile\, the largest food contact surface in any plant\, the ambient air\, is often the least monitored. The U.S. recorded 296 food recalls in 2024\, of which pathogens drove 39 percent; the average recall costs $10 million before litigation. \nThis 30-minute session shows how continuous hydroxyl-based air and surface treatment closes the gap between sanitation cycles\, working in occupied space alongside your existing program\, with documented outcomes from meat\, beverage\, dairy\, and bakery facilities. \nKey takeaways for attendees: \n\nWhy ambient air is the largest and most overlooked contamination zone in food processing\, and what it costs you between scheduled cleans\nHow continuous treatment reduces airborne and surface microbial load in occupied\, active production environments without shutdowns or chemical residue\nThe real economics: cost-per-square-foot\, chemical and labor reduction\, recovered production days\, and documented payback timelines\nField-proven results\, recovering production days and payback in under 12 months

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
