Food Safety Magazine's Webinar Series, Evolution of New Era: Advancing Strategies for Smarter Food Safety, features leading voices from FDA, industry, and state and local regulators, and is the most in-depth series looking into FDA's New Era of Smarter Food Safety both inside and outside FDA. The fourth in this webinar series focuses on Core Element 4 of the New Era blueprint, Food Safety Culture. FDA is working to promote food safety culture throughout the food system and FDA's Human Foods program, as well as to develop and promote a smarter food safety consumer education campaign. Learn more about what FDA has been doing through webinars, a review of the scientific literature, staff training, and dialogue with industry to help establish a food safety foundation across the global supply chain.

From this webinar, you will learn:

  • Why food safety culture is important for the food industry and government
  • How industry and government agencies are tackling this issue together
  • Where food safety culture is headed in the future
