Global Food Safety Culture Series: Europe
The Global Food Safety Series meets you where you live! Its purpose is to help food safety professionals discover the unique characteristics of the cultures in which their companies operate around the world by exploring five distinct regions: Europe, Australia, Asia, North America, and Latin America. During five separate webinars, regional cultures will be explored at a macro level by Lone Jespersen, Ph.D., Cultivate, the impact of these regional cultural differences on food safety will be discussed by 3M Food Safety, and a practical case will be illustrated by a food safety professional at a food company operating in the specific region under study.
Welcome to Europe!
Lone Jespersen, Ph.D., Cultivate, will explore this regional subculture of the global food industry by describing its unique characteristics; Jonathan Walsh, Ph.D., 3M Food Safety, will describe how these cultural differences may impact food safety; and Lydie De Meyer and Edyta Krysiuk-Kowalczyk, Danone, will present an illustration of how these regional variations have affected the implementation of food safety culture at their company.
During this webinar, you will learn:
- How to effectively communicate food safety culture
- Which food safety interventions are the most effective
- What are the challenges you may face in improving your food safety culture
- How to leverage the characteristics of your regional culture to maximize food safety

Lone Jespersen, Ph.D., Founder & Principal, Cultivate
Lone Jespersen has dedicated the last 15 years of her life to bettering food manufacturing operations and studying how culture affects food safety performance. She’s proud to hold a Ph.D. in Culture Enabled Food Safety and to have created an incredible network of worldwide collaborators within the food supply chain. She had no idea that one day she would be involved so intimately in this often lack-luster industry, but after 11 years with Maple Leaf Foods—including the uphill battle to regain consumer trust following the 2008 tragedy that killed 23 people—her life purpose shifted. At the time, she was in charge of food safety and operations learning strategies. It took a lot of introspection, questioning and scrutiny to turn Maple Leaf around. She led the relaunch and execution of Maple Leaf Foods’ food safety & operations learning strategies. A little more every day, she transformed its culture from the inside out.
