2019 Workshop Learnings
The six common themes of the 2019 workshops include Communication, Food Safety Culture and Awareness, Education, Recalls and Traceability, Novel Food Products and Food Safety Tools/Technology, and Uniformity and Standardization:
- Communication – This theme underlines the importance of explaining the “why,” focusing on growing our proactive approaches and developing routine contact between food safety system participants rather than waiting to talk in crisis.
- Education – Building for success based on humanizing regulators and industry through education and presenting a joint front by collaborating on trainings.
- Food Safety Culture/Awareness – Promoting the importance of management buy-in within all organizations involved in the food safety system and encouraging change through FSMA where appropriate and productive.
- Uniformity & Standardization – Accepting the retail food code as the over-arching guide for successful retail food safety while recognizing the success and challenges mutually experienced by each component of the system and collaborating to provide uniformity through the continued implementation of FSMA or preventative controls.
- Novel Tools, Technology, and Products – Taking advantage of automation and the IoT as often as possible to provide faster, better and more effective solutions so that food safety expertise can be freed up to do what automation cannot.
- Recalls and Traceability – Improving the effectiveness of recalls by means at all levels and removing redundancy while increasing the speed of traceability.
Call to Action
BE A PARTNER!!
Dear Food Safety Partners,
WE are Partners with A Common Purpose, or PwCP, and we recognize that public health and consumer protection is a common purpose that can be a major driver in successful collaboration.
WE establish equal partnership between regulatory and industry stakeholders at meetings and forums that allows for greater input, collaboration, and innovation toward continually improving the safety of the food supply and public health.
WE asked you - our partners - to contribute to our cause and collected benchmarking data and information about Smarter Food Safety and COVID-19 during a survey we sent out prior to the Food Safety Summit.
WE shared our data insights and collaboration learnings during our 2020 virtual Food Safety Summit workshop session but if you missed that, you can also find a summary of it below.
Sincerely,
Partners with A Common Purpose Steering Committee
