Co-sponsored by SafetyChain Software and Leavitt Partners, series will feature interactive interviews, Q&A with Dr. David Acheson and the Leavitt Partners Global Food Safety Solutions team
SafetyChain Software, the leader in Food Safety Chain Management solutions that help ensure food safety and quality compliance while creating operational efficiencies that save time and money – is excited to announce that it is partnering with Leavitt Partners Global Food Safety Solutions, a leading global food safety consulting organization – to launch a series of live, interactive pod/webcasts to keep the food safety and quality assurance (FSQA) community up-to-date on the evolving rules of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
“As rules and regulations – such as the FSMA Preventive Control for Human Food and Produce Rules – are being issued and commented on, FSQA professionals are challenged with determining the impact on their operations and how to comply. We’re very excited to be partnering with SafetyChain to have an open and ongoing forum to help the FSQA community work through these challenges,” said Dr. David Acheson, Partner, Leavitt Partners.
“As many people know, Dr. Acheson was responsible for the 2007 FDA Food Protection Plan that formed the foundation for the Food Safety and Modernization Act of 2011 – and was also very involved in the drafting of the law, so we feel very privileged to be holding FSMA Fridays with David and his team. Each pod/webcast will answer questions on relevant FSMA topics, including attendee questions, and provide insight into how to prepare for compliance. We encourage FSQA professionals from all company types in the food supply chain to register for these complimentary events,” said Barbara Levin, SVP and co-founder, SafetyChain Software.
