Ensuring a Safe and Secure “Farm to Fork” Supply Chain for Sensitive Consumable Products

It is estimated that approximately 50% of the worldwide food production is lost due to inefficiencies in transportation, distribution and storage of perishables.

The current US administration has made food safety a major priority by increasing FDA funding and passing legislation in 2009 that affected every aspect of the food system – from farmers to manufacturers to importers. Additional FDA and USDA regulatory changes are pending for 2011, likely resulting with increased responsibility on food processors to prevent contamination, a departure from the country’s reactive tradition, which has relied on government inspectors to catch tainted food after the fact. Recent recalls, contamination and spoilage incidents show that, as need and food volume increases, processes for ensuring food safety need to adapt as well.

Food & Beverage IQ’s 3rd Annual Cold Chain Food & Beverage event will not only discuss food safety and regulations, but specifically in relation to cold chain management from factory to consumers. Join us to hear from industry experts, benchmark against proven leaders and develop best practices for creating a safe end-to-end supply chain that complies with the latest regulations, supports corporate best practices and fits into your cost-benefit analysis.
