SUMMARY:Grocers & wholesalers: Why you might be thinking of FSMA 204 all wrong
DESCRIPTION:As a grocery retailer\, you represent an important part of the food supply chain: the end. But when it comes to recalls and inquiries\, the FDA is calling you first. \nUnder the FDA’s updated FSMA 204 food traceability regulation\, retailers are required to collect and maintain a tremendous amount of data to help the FDA track the path of a product back to its origins. What’s more? The law requires you to be able to send that data in a sortable file to the FDA within 24 hours of a request. The consequences will be real\, and many of your peers have already gotten started. Join TAG’s Executive Vice President of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs\, Dr. Ben Miller\, to learn what’s required and how you can fast-track preparedness before the FDA’s enforcement deadline. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Grocery retailers & wholesalers: Here's what the FDA says you need to know NOW
DESCRIPTION:Grocery retailers\, your list of suppliers probably numbers in the hundreds – or maybe even thousands. Thanks to FDA’s new FSMA 204 requirement\, you’re now required to take in traceability data from all of them for each shipment of everyday items like tomatoes\, fresh greens and herbs\, deli salads\, shrimp and mollusks\, and even nut butters. Will you have to hire more store-level receivers to check in the data when they’re checking in orders? Are your systems ready to take in traceability data in hundreds (or thousands) of different formats?\n\nJoin TAG’s Executive Vice President of Regulatory and Scientific Affairs\, Dr. Ben Miller\, as he untangles the web of FSMA 204 data requirements for grocery retailers.\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Take control: Don't let your customers force you to do traceability their way
DESCRIPTION:Do you create\, grow or process any of the foods on the FDA’s Food Traceability List? If so\, your customers will soon be telling you how to send FSMA 204-compliant food traceability data to them for every impacted shipment\, every time. This webinar is geared specifically toward suppliers forced to grapple with the new regulation and their customer’s new requirements. \nAre you prepared to send data in multiple formats to multiple customers? Do you even have the data that they’ll be asking for? Join TAG’s Executive Vice President of Regulatory and Scientific Affairs\, Dr. Ben Miller\, to learn the answers and talk about solutions. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Strengthening your Supply Chain Program: Insights for RAC Producers & Food Manufacturers
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to food safety\, everyone from the grower\, producer\, manufacturer\, and distributor should be in lockstep. \nJoin TAG’s Manager of Food Safety\, Angela Ferelli Gruber\, as she compares two sides of food safety for raw agricultural commodities (RAC) that are made into food- at the farm and in the facility. Dr. Ferelli Gruber will provide approaches to strengthen food safety programs of producers as well as supplier evaluation procedures of manufacturers to proactively mitigate risk and comply with changing FSMA regulations. \nJoin the live conversation and learn: \n\nHow farms can create strong food safety programs\nStrategies to enhance visibility into potential food safety risks of raw agricultural commodities\nHow to manage supplier risk\, including identifying hazards and obtaining necessary approvals\nWhere the FDA Food Traceability Rule will impact the produce supply chain\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Expect the Unexpected: Failure to Anticipate Threats is a Critical Food Safety Risk
DESCRIPTION:The risk is real: shutdowns of meat packing plants and oil pipelines due to ransomware attacks; fake organic grains due to fraud; systemic network outages due to maintenance failures; attacks on power grids—the failure to anticipate risk and plan risk mitigation strategies may be the biggest food safety issue companies face. Failure to anticipate what targeted threats and unthinkable breaches could happen can be a costly misstep for the food industry. \nTAG’s Chief Scientific Officer\, Rolando Gonzalez\, will join others on a panel at IFT in Chicago\, IL to discuss what tough questions your organization needs to be asking and what type of investments need to be made now\, along with strategies and next steps to imagine the unimaginable. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Hygienic By Design: Reducing Risk in Your Facility
DESCRIPTION:TAG’s Executive Vice President of Food Safety & Public Health\, Dr. Rolando Gonzalez\, will be presenting at the 2023 3-A SSI Education Event on May 10\, 2023. Dr. Gonzalez will be presenting Hygienic by Design: Reducing Risk in Your Facility. Hygienic by design means designing or modifying facilities\, equipment\, and systems to minimize the risk of contamination in all phases of food production. It involves considering hygiene and sanitation at every stage of facility design\, construction\, and operation. This includes selecting materials\, equipment\, and surfaces that are easy to clean and maintain\, creating layouts that minimize cross-contamination\, and implementing effective cleaning and disinfection procedures. The goal is to create a hygienic environment that supports food safety and reduces the risk of foodborne illness. \nLearn more here

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Use of Artificial Intelligence in Food Safety and What's Next
DESCRIPTION:As media channels talk about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools\, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT\, are making work easier for some\, while possibly putting other jobs at risk – the use of artificial intelligence in the food industry has been gaining momentum over the last 5 years. \nBut when it comes to food safety\, how is AI being used today by food producers – as well as the FDA – and where is this rapidly evolving technology going? \nIn this webinar\, TAG’s Vice President of Public Health & Regulatory Affairs\, Dr. Ben Miller\, discusses current cases for using AI to monitor and detect food safety issues (such as the detection of contaminants) along with its potential to predict common and rare food safety events. Dr. Miller will also outline current challenges and potential limitations of AI in the food industry and how to think about appropriate uses of currently available and future AI tools. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Shoring Up Your Prevention Actions to Avoid FDA Form 483
DESCRIPTION:Typically spurred on by customer complaints\, the FDA have been increasing their investigations\, resulting in far more Form 483’s being issued for corrective action violations. An inability to respond to this form with a written corrective action plan that is expeditiously implemented can result in product recall or facility shutdown. \nWhether you’re a larger enterprise or smaller manufacturing business\, your preventative action plan can break down for several reasons. In this webinar\, TAG’s Director of Food Safety\, Lacey Keesee\, will describe what manufacturers can do to avoid FDA investigations resulting in a Form 483\, and overcome common challenges such as a lack of resources to conduct a thorough RCA\, or ensuring proper documentation practices are in place. \nProcess manufacturers need a practical approach that not only protects their business but drives continuous improvement. In this webinar you will lean: \n\nWhat the FDA expects for root cause analysis\nWhat good root cause analysis looks like and tools to support your production\nHow to implement a proper CAPA plan following analysis\n\nRegister here
