SUMMARY:Formulation to Finance: Building a Connected Feed Operation
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nHow much data are your teams maintaining separately from each other? In the feed mill\, disconnected systems slow the response to changing circumstances\, add cost\, and raise the risk of error. Yet your business is data rich\, and it can do far more when it is shared across teams and functions. This webinar looks at how feed businesses can integrate their systems to work together. See how formulation and ERP strengthen each other\, and how connections to quality\, procurement\, scheduling\, and finance can improve compliance\, traceability\, and financial performance. \nThis webinar will broadcast at 8:00 AM CDT (Chicago) / 2:00 PM BST (London) / 9:00 PM CST (Beijing). \nWHAT YOU’LL LEARN: \n\nFind out where disconnected systems cost you and what the risks are\nSee how a data-rich feed business can put data to work across teams and functions\, from the mill floor to finance\nInvestigate the core connection between formulation and ERP\, and how each system benefits the other\nExplore the data connections that can improve quality\, compliance\, traceability\, and financial performance\nLearn how to turn formulation\, manufacturing\, and operations into one feedback loop instead of three separate ones\nSee how remote and multi-site access can put the same live view in front of every plant for unified and justified decision-making\n\nThis webinar is sponsored by Datacor and presented by Feed Strategy and Feed & Grain.

SUMMARY:Positive Nutrition Broadcast Series 2026: Next-gen snacking
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nHealthy snacking reformulation has entered a new phase\, where nutrition is no longer a niche offering\, but\na baseline expectation. This broadcast explores how brands are reformulating everyday snacks to deliver\nhigher protein and fibre\, reduce sugar without sacrificing indulgence and meet tightening clean-label and\nregulatory demands. And all this must be done while maintaining taste\, texture and consumer familiarity. \nFrom new wave indulgence and smarter sugar reduction to the growing influence of GLP-1 weight-\nmanagement needs\, we examine what’s changing now\, what’s technically challenging and what successful\nreformulation looks like in the snack market of tomorrow.

SUMMARY:A Tale of Two Companies: Winning and Losing with AI in Food and Beverage
DESCRIPTION:Register now \nSame pressures\, same spending\, different outcomes \nMost food and beverage companies are investing in AI\, but far fewer are seeing returns. The difference often isn’t the budget. It’s the foundation of data\, processes\, and systems that AI relies on to deliver value. \nIndustry experts Jack Payne and Sheldon Peacock walk through the experiences of two manufacturers facing the same pressures: rising costs\, thinning margins\, and volatility. One standardized on an industry-specific platform with embedded AI. The other is still patching together fragmented systems and bolted-on AI. As their approaches diverge\, so do their results. You’ll see how technology and AI decisions impact operations\, quality\, supply chain performance\, and profitability. \nEvery insight is backed by new research from Vanson Bourne\, commissioned by Aptean and based on responses from 300 food and beverage decision-makers. Join us to see what separates manufacturers turning AI investments into results from those struggling to realize value. \nWhat You’ll Learn: \n\nWhy integration (not AI) is the real bottleneck\, and where to start. 85% of food and beverage companies say connecting AI to core business systems is more challenging than implementing the AI itself.\nHow to catch a bad order before it ships. One manufacturer in our research automatically catches quantity errors\, incorrect SKUs\, and shelf-life issues upstream.\nWhere industry-specific AI delivers measurable advantages. 29% of companies using vertical AI report double-digit forecast accuracy gains\, compared with 19% using general-purpose tools.\nHow top performing manufacturers are turning AI investments into business value. Learn what separates companies seeing gains in forecast accuracy\, productivity\, and decision making from those still struggling to realize ROI.\n\n

SUMMARY:FDA Proposes Major GRAS Reform: What It Could Mean for Your Business
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) August 2026 proposed GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) rule could significantly change how companies establish and document GRAS status in the U.S.\, including potential FDA notification requirements. What does the proposal require\, and how could it affect current practices? \nFDA proposes to replace the existing voluntary GRAS notification framework with mandatory notification requirements\, but important questions remain about scope\, implementation\, enforcement\, and FDA resources. Join our speakers for a practical discussion of FDA’s proposal\, the changes it could bring\, and the questions that remain. Topics will include existing self-GRAS conclusions\, food-contact substances\, FDA resources\, related congressional GRAS reform efforts\, and general steps companies can consider as the rulemaking process continues. \nAttendees will:   \n\nUnderstand the changes FDA is proposing and areas that may remain unchanged\nExamine potential implications for self-GRAS\, Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) GRAS\, and food-contact substances\nReview key questions involving implementation\, enforcement\, and FDA resources\nConsider practical steps that organizations can take now to prepare as the rulemaking process moves forward

SUMMARY:Beyond the Swab: How to Build a Smarter Listeria EMP
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nYour Environmental Monitoring (EM) program is only as good as what you’re actually trying to find and why. EM is your best tool for verifying that Listeria controls are working. When you swab with the intent to find Listeria if it’s there\, you generate real signal: gaps in cleaning execution\, equipment that harbors risk\, conditions that won’t fix themselves. This is the kind of data that drives improvement on the plant floor. \nBut when you get a positive\, what happens next matters as much as the finding itself: a positive result is not the “seek” in seek and destroy. Before you remediate\, investigate; look at what the environment is telling you. Identify the contamination source and the transfer vectors. Only then will your corrective actions hold.
