Food Fraud, Ingredient Hazards, Recalls
Current threats and how to manage them

A FoodChain ID Live Webinar

February 23, 2021 | 2:00 pm Eastern

COVID-19 wasn’t the only hazard the food industry faced in 2020. Microbes, allergens, foreign bodies, and other adulterants continued to be a problem and led to a record number of food recalls. We also saw a major spike upward in chemical issues for the year, mainly due to ethylene oxide in sesame seeds during Q4. Food fraud was widespread, possibly aided by COVID-related supply chain disruptions.

Identifying and controlling biological, chemical and physical threats to food products continues to be one of our industry’s biggest challenges, and it was made even harder by the added demands of the global pandemic. More than ever, companies need a better way to react quickly to emerging new threats.

Join us for this informative, free webinar where we’ll review current trends in food fraud and other ingredient risks. We’ll show you how some industry-leading companies are responding to these challenges with new technologies for identifying, assessing and scoring potential threats to their products.
