The goal of SQF365 is to bring together food safety practitioners, suppliers, and retailers to enhance food safety and business operations while encouraging dialog and discussion.
Through virtual and in-person gatherings, SQFI and partners will host Food Safety digital seminars, Roundtables, in-person Regional Focus Days, and workshops.
Dive in with us for a discussion with SGS Lead Auditor Caleb Lawrence Alcala and SGS Regional Manager, Scott Grossman as they share their insights about the trends and obstacles they see in their field and talk about how to mitigate food safety risks. SQF Compliance Manager, Tammie Van Buren will share the major non-conformances from 2022 SQF audits.
Harness the power of the risk assessment, the best-kept secret to successful SQF System implementation. The risk assessment is the backbone of an effective food safety system with the power to understand the risks associated with your processes. To prevent it from becoming complicated and time-consuming, the key is keeping the process simple. We’ll show you how! This interactive roundtable will review best practices for conducting a successful risk assessment and will guide attendees through real-world examples using a risk assessment tool.
Based on an analysis of hundreds of audit reports it is clear that sites and auditors alike struggle with understanding certain code elements. Join our all-star panel of SQF auditors for an interactive discussion on the most misunderstood SQF Code elements of 2022.
