Description:
American consumers have one of the safest food supplies in the world, but the world is changing and we know it can be safer. New food sources, advances in production and distribution methods, and the growing volume of imports due to consumer demand call for a new approach to protecting our food from unintentional or deliberate contamination. As a result, earlier this year, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration announced sweeping changes in their food safety policy.

The FDA's Food Protection Plan will implement a strategy of prevention, intervention and response to build safety into every step of the food supply chain. It is a forward-oriented concept that uses science and modern information technology to identify potential hazards ahead of time.

Join Dr. David Acheson, Associate Commissioner for Foods at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to learn more about the Food Protection Plan and the impact for food companies. Dr. Acheson’s presentation will be followed by CDC Software’s Beth Berndt, Director Product Management Food Industry Solutions who will explain how food manufacturers can comply with these new standards and reduce their recall liabilities.
