Webinar

Adopting a risk-based preventive approach to food safety across the end-to-end cold chain

Watch our on demand webinar with Dr. David Acheson, President and CEO of The Acheson Group, Gisi Herjolfsson, Co-founder and CEO of Controlant, and Food Safety Magazine on how to develop an effective risk-mitigation strategy for your end-to-end food supply chain. Duration is 60 minutes.

Abstract

The integrated global cold chain, which includes multiple touch points, requires seamless movement of product and data between all stakeholders—from food growers and manufacturers, to transportation partners, ports, cold storage providers and others who collectively ensure food safety, quality, and freshness. Any broken link can lead to product damage, reputational damage, and a decrease in consumer trust.

What are the best practices and regulations that should be considered when building a proactive food safety program for the cold chain? What other important considerations should be covered? What investments and innovations are making the most impact while mitigating risk across the global cold chain? How can you separate hype from reality and determine how these solutions can meet the high-stake demands?

Participants examine this topic from several angles, including:

• Insights on the unique challenges and vulnerabilities that accompany a complex food supply chain and its stakeholders
• How the right preventative program can reduce risk and ensure product integrity from farm to fork
• Which solutions are having the greatest impact on cold chain efficiency and effectiveness, including IoT technology and services
• How achieving transparency and collaboration across the food chain benefits your customers and your business
