Webinar Description
Food safety culture is being called an emerging risk in the food industry. Progress in the food safety arena has traditionally been led by research in the natural sciences – a comfortable field for most food safety and quality assurance professionals – but a food safety culture doesn’t grow in a lab. What is a culture of food safety? What influences it? How can it be measured? What are the challenges and implications related to it? This presentation will provide insight into the science of organizational culture and introduce best practices that could make a positive difference to a food safety culture.
