SILVER SPRING, MD. — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has once again partnered with non-profit public health organization Stop Foodborne Illness on a food safety culture webinar series.
“Each hour-long webinar will feature industry experts who will address critical aspects of food safety culture, building from basic assumptions which underpin an organization’s food safety work to the messages and programs which support an organization’s food safety culture,” the FDA said. “Participants will walk away with actionable strategies to improve their company’s food safety culture, as well as approaches to address common misconceptions that can impact food safety behavior in day-to-day operations.”
