On-Demand: Food and beverage companies work hard to consistently deliver safe products because they understand that the stakes are extremely high – for the public and for their companies. The Food Plant of the Future will be driven to raise the bar for sanitary design, affecting existing plants as well as Greenfield and Brownfield projects.

On-Demand: Exclusively for thought-leaders in food and beverage processing facility management, Food Plant of the Future webinars are presented by Hixson, a leading design and engineering firm of food processing facilities in North America.

On-Demand Concerns over food safety, reliability, and traceability get a great deal of attention within plants.  Yet the highly regulated – but often-overlooked – concern for the storage and use of hazardous materials is also important.

On-Demand: SQF 2000, FSMA, ISO 22000/PAS220 and other standards continue to gain traction in an attempt to create safer foods and beverages. 

On Demand Plumbing System Design for Food Safety, a Food Plant of the Future webinar presented by Hixson and co-sponsored by Food Engineering magazine, will cover plumbing design strategies that help facilities keep food safety at the forefront, maximize plumbing systems for expansion and change and provide the necessary durability for the future.

On Demand In this webinar you will discover how the new FSMA Risk and Preventative Control Plans may shape the future of plant and equipment design and processing procedures. You will learn how today’s best practices in facilities – for controlling allergens, preventing intentional product adulteration, and more – may become the norm in the future, and how to identify FSMA impacts on your personnel such as training resource requirements, employee hygiene, and sanitation practices.

ON DEMAND: 58% of food producers worldwide have been affected by a recall in the last five years. Do you know how much you’re spending on food safety and quality? From appraisals and prevention to managing production failures and product returns, the costs can add up quickly – and often aren’t measured. Poor product quality and safety issues impact not just the bottom line but also a brand’s reputation with retailers and consumers.

ON DEMAND: The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was signed into law in 2011. FSMA updated Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP’s). Regardless of compliance requirements for other parts of FSMA, all food and beverage factories are required to meet cGMP’s.
