º£½ÇÉçÇø

The Uº£½ÇÉçÇø Extension Food Safety Webinar Series is a monthly, expert-led program focused on practical food safety, regulatory compliance, and product innovation across the food system. Designed for food producers, processors, seafood businesses, entrepreneurs, educators, regulators, and quality assurance professionals, the series addresses real-world topics such as digital record-keeping, workforce training, chemical safety, adulteration prevention, seafood pathogen detection, audit readiness, product development, and emerging technologies. Participants gain practical tools, case studies, and actionable strategies they can immediately apply in their operations, classrooms, or regulatory work.

Moving from paper-based to digital systems is essential for modern food safety compliance and operational efficiency. This webinar will delve into the selection, implementation, and management of electronic record-keeping systems that meet FDA FSMA, GFSI, and other regulatory requirements. Topics will include data integrity principles (ALCOA+), system validation, cloud versus on-premise solutions, user access controls, and audit trails. Practical case studies will demonstrate how digital tools can streamline tasks like lot tracking, temperature monitoring, and corrective action documentation, while reducing human error and improving traceability during recalls.
