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: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.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Impact of Pathogenic Spores on Milk Safety: From Farm to Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nSpore-forming pathogens present a persistent and complex challenge in dairy production\, with significant implications for product safety. These microorganisms\, particularly species of Clostridium and Bacillus\, are highly resilient in spore form\, capable of surviving pasteurization and other heat treatments\, and are commonly introduced through farm environments such as soil\, silage\, water\, and bedding. \nThis webinar will provide a focused exploration of spore-forming pathogens in the dairy supply chain\, beginning at the farm level and extending through processing and finished products. We will examine the primary sources and transmission pathways of spores\, and how on-farm practices directly influence downstream risks\, and mitigation strategies at the farm and processing levels. \nThe session will also cover current and emerging detection methods\, risk monitoring approaches\, and targeted mitigation strategies. By connecting farm management practices with manufacturing outcomes\, this webinar aims to equip dairy professionals with practical\, actionable strategies to mitigate risk\, improve milk quality\, and enhance product performance. \nLearning Objectives: By the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the major spore-forming pathogens relevant to dairy production (e.g.\, Clostridium spp.\, Bacillus spp.)\, including their biological characteristics and resistance mechanisms.\nExplain the primary on-farm sources and transmission pathways of spore contamination\, including the role of silage quality\, hygiene practices\, bedding materials\, and environmental exposure.\nAnalyze the impact of spore-forming pathogens on dairy processing and finished products\, including their role in dairy safety and quality.\nEvaluate current detection\, enumeration\, and monitoring methods for spore-formers\, including their advantages\, limitations\, and appropriate applications across the supply chain.\nApply targeted and integrated control strategies to reduce spore loads\, linking on-farm interventions (e.g.\, feed and hygiene management) with processing controls (e.g.\, clarification\, filtration\, thermal strategies\, etc).

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
