Live Webinar on Microbiological Safety of Low Water Activity Foods and Spices

With the implementation of the FSMA, there is an increased focus on the validation of preventive controls for all products regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This includes food production environments where traditionally concern about pathogenic organisms has been minimal because of the low aw of the products. The recalls caused by Salmonella have clearly shown businesses they cannot afford to be complacent and should now look to validate their control processes for products including nuts, spices, cereals, milling and dairy powder.

This exclusive 60-minute webinar aims to provide you a deeper insight about the need for Process Validation given the increased focus on the validation of preventive controls for all products regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
