2025 Agenda

We are closely monitoring the impact of recent travel and communication restrictions affecting the FDA, CDC, AFDO, and other government agencies.

Despite these limitations, the Food Safety Summit will proceed as planned. Should these restrictions remain in place, we are committed to minimizing disruptions by securing industry experts to step in for absent regulators. Any necessary updates to the speaker lineup will be promptly reflected in the online agenda.

Our goal is to ensure a robust and insightful program, maintaining a strong focus on collaboration, leadership, and the advancement of food safety.

Food Fraud Prevention Workshop and Certificate Course

Food fraud prevention is one of the most urgent and misunderstood food industry topics. This one-day course will begin with an overview of the food fraud problem, before quickly shifting from “how to catch food fraud” to “how to prevent food fraud from occurring in the first place.” Building upon that overview, the afternoon will move to conducting a food fraud vulnerability assessment, which is a requirement for food safety certifications such as BRC, FSSC 22000, IFS, SQF, and others based on the GFSI benchmark. The course will end with how to implement a food fraud prevention strategy and management system. Participants will receive a certificate from the Food Fraud Prevention Think Tank, upon completion.

Application of the Principles of Hazard Analysis—Beyond the Basics

A thorough hazard analysis (HA) is one of the principal foundations for building an effective food safety risk management system. Without it, the entire HACCP/food safety plan could be rendered unmanageable or ineffective. Different regulatory agencies such as FDA, USDA, CFIA, and EFSA have issued their own HACCP regulations; however, the heart of any HACCP or food safety plan are the documented control measures (based on HA) that are essential to control significant hazards. Despite the scientific support and wide dissemination of the definition for significant hazard, successful application of HA principles in identifying significant hazards is still quite limited. This one-day course will help clarify some of the mystery and misunderstanding around the principles of HA. Attendees will leave with a practical approach for performing evidence-based HA, challenging their existing HACCP plans, and successfully implementing a food safety risk management system at their facilities. Interactive quizzes, discussions, and breakout sessions will take place throughout the day. Attendees will also receive a workbook containing training materials, case studies, additional references, and resource materials. This course will be of interest to anyone responsible for a HACCP/food safety plan and to all those who audit, advise, coach, and regulate.

Learning objectives:

• Understand the concepts around hazard identification and hazard evaluation that are required to perform an effective HA
• Learn how to correctly use HACCP principles and current science to challenge an existing HACCP plan
• Understand concepts related to verification of supplier controls, balancing auditing and regulatory needs, refreshing the HACCP team's knowledge, and enhancing food safety culture
