Food Safety and Food Recall Management - Comprehensive Training Package (4 Courses)

How do you reduce the risks of foreign material contamination in the food manufacturing process? Is your pathogen control program effective? Do you have a crisis response plan in place to deal with food recalls?

To help food manufacturers, we have produced this comprehensive package of five webinar recording CDs covering topics such as reducing the risks of foreign material contamination; preventing E.Coli contamination; pathogen control programs; inexpensive food safety and traceability solutions; and planning and conducting food recalls.

How It Works:

Each webinar CD package has a series of modules. Our speakers have delivered the modules using PowerPoint slides.

This training is convenient to attend individually or in groups. You don't have to travel from your office. This means you can afford to have your whole team attend. As the webinar recording CDs are licensed to be used multiple times in a location, you can schedule the training as many times for as many groups/batches as you wish. Your team members will learn the material together; everybody will get the same information.

Webinar Topics included in this package:

• Reduce the Risks of Foreign Material Contamination - A Manufacturer's Guide in Creating a Foreign Material Control
• Pathogenic Escherichia Coli: Beyond E. Coli O157:H7 - A Food Safety Webinar
• Pathogen Control Programs for food Manufacturers
• Food Recalls - Planning and conducting a Food Recall and Crisis Communication

Who will benefit?

These webinar recording CDs will be beneficial to the following:

Food Manufacturing employees at all levels, especially maintenance, operators and their contractors; Specification developers of new and existing products; Auditors who review facilities quality assurance programs; Customers who want to understand best practices that they should require of their suppliers will benefit; QA and QC Managers; Production Managers; Food Scientists and Technologists; Laboratory Managers; Food Safety Personnel; HACCP Coordinators; Government food inspectors; Sanitation Managers; Corporate and Plant Microbiologists; Processing Engineers; and Operations Supervisors and Managers.

Webinars included in the Package:

This food safety webinar provides a detailed overview of pathogenic E. coli, their sources and dissemination routes, in addition to means of detection and control.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• Evolution of different pathogen Escherichia coli.
• Mode-of-illness and virulence factors.
• Sources and epidemiology.
• Food-borne illness outbreaks linked to pathogenic E. coli.
• The emergence of non-O157 EHEC.
• Diagnostics for pathogenic E. coli.
• Regulations around pathogenic E. coli.

Pathogen Control Programs for food Manufacturers (60 minutes)

This pathogen control training discusses implementation of GMPs, environment testing, HACCP and design programs to prevent foodborne illness.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• The Organisms of general concern in foodborne illnesses and their most common food and environmental sources.
• How HACCP validation plays a critical role in ensuring pathogens are eliminated.
• Programs that are most influential in the control of pathogen contamination.
• The role test and release or verification programs play in defending foodborne illness claims.

Food Recalls - Planning and conducting a Food Recall and Crisis Communication (90 minutes)

This Food Recall training helps you create a robust process for planning and conducting a food recall and crisis communication. It also helps each department anticipate their roles and responsibilities so your company's response will be effective and swift.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• Companies are encouraged to create a flow diagram of the steps in a recall.
• Each department will then list their roles and responsibilities at each step.
• Each department then will report to the large group as to what they see their role to be and the others will test their thinking and add suggestions.
• Also, study the investigation process of a Listeria outbreak.
• Understand what analyses can be done to better understand foreign material complaints.
• Review basic concepts of Crisis Communication.
• Outline the responses / approaches based on a variety of crisis scenarios.
