SUMMARY:From EFSA to Enforcement: Managing the Growing Complexity of EU MRLs
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThe European Union remains one of the world’s most complex and closely monitored regulatory markets for pesticide residues. Frequent regulatory updates\, evolving Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs)\, extensive testing programs\, and increasing scrutiny from regulators create significant compliance challenges for companies involved in agricultural production\, food manufacturing\, and international trade. \nThis webinar will provide a practical overview of the EU MRL-setting process\, explain recent regulatory developments that are increasing compliance complexity\, and demonstrate how organizations can leverage regulatory intelligence technology to stay informed and reduce risk. \nAttendees will gain insight into how MRLs are established and implemented within the EU\, understand emerging challenges related to Member State-level residue standards\, and learn how our MRL database helps organizations monitor regulatory changes\, identify market risks\, and support decision-making and compliance. \nKey takeaways: \n\nUnderstand how MRLs move from EFSA assessment through regulatory implementation\, and how to plan compliance around those timelines\nRecognize the operational challenges associated with managing EU residue compliance and identify risks created by emerging Member State-level MRL requirements\nEvaluate best practices for monitoring regulatory changes and protecting market access\nUnderstand how automated regulatory intelligence tools can improve compliance efficiency and reduce risk exposure

SUMMARY:Engineering PET Beverage Packaging Performance to Unlock Growth
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nPET has become the backbone of modern beverage packaging\, valued for its light weight\, cost efficiency\, and recyclability. Yet as distribution distances lengthen\, climates become harsher\, and product expectations rise\, conventional PET bottles are reaching the limits of their performance. Today\, growth opportunities are emerging across the beverage packaging value chain by engineering PET performance instead of changing packaging platforms.Using real-world examples across carbonated soft drinks\, oxygen-sensitive beverages\, dairy\, and aesthetically driven applications\, this webinar explores how Husky’s technology and PET expertise enable you to: \n\nExpand into new markets\, climates\, and distribution routes\nExtend shelf life and improve carbonation retention\nReduce product loss and waste across complex supply chains\nMeet sustainability goals while remaining recyclable\nCreate premium differentiation through package aesthetics

SUMMARY:Benchmarking Foreign Material Contamination in 2026: What the Data Shows
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nForeign material contamination remains one of the most persistent challenges in food and beverage manufacturing. Yet many plants are unaware of how they stack up—on everything from frequency to prevention to response programs. \nJoin us as we review the results from surveying over 170 FSQA and operations leaders on foreign material challenges. We will walk through the full results of the 2026 Foreign Material Contamination Benchmark Survey\, including: \n\nHow often FM events are really happening\, and how that compares to what plants report up the chain\nWhere contamination is coming from\, such as equipment wear\, packaging\, ingredients\, and the sources leaders flag most\nThe real maturity of detection programs and where the gap is between “in place” and “working well”\nWhat is driving investment decisions\, and the factors FSQA and ops leaders weigh when making the case for new prevention technology\nHow to benchmark your own contamination rates and detection maturity against industry peers\n\nWhether you are building a budget case or just want to know where your program stands against the rest of the industry\, this session will give you the data to back it up.

SUMMARY:Frontline Preparedness for SQF Edition 10
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nSQF Edition 10 introduces several important changes that require sites to move beyond updating procedures and consider how new expectations will be implemented\, demonstrated\, and sustained in day-to-day operations. Preparing effectively requires understanding not only what has changed from Edition 9\, but also what those changes mean in practice. \nThis FSMA Friday session will focus on selected SQF Edition 10 requirements that may require additional preparation\, including Food Safety Culture\, Change Management\, Management Review\, Environmental Monitoring\, CAPA – Corrective & Preventative action and Audit readiness. Using practical examples\, the presentation will explore how sites can translate these requirements into workable programs and objective evidence. \nExamples will include developing a measurable Food Safety Culture Plan\, establishing a structured Change Management process\, strengthening corrective & preventative action with effectiveness verification\, and using risk assessment to ensure an Environmental Monitoring Program is scientifically justified and appropriate for the facility and its hazards. \nThe session is intended to help food manufacturers identify where their existing SQF systems may already meet the intent of Edition 10\, where additional work may be needed\, and how to prioritize readiness activities ahead of their next SQF audit.
