Event summary

Food manufacturing, retailing and costumer demand depend on a globalized supply chain. This makes food safety a truly international issue. Official legistation and standars for food safety help make sure that every step is secure. Still it is the food industry that must show its face when a break in the link occurs.

Today's food safety experts need to control global suppliers, transport, manufacture practices and shelf conditions. Every employee, every instrument and every partner must comply with your overall safety program. The promise of safety to a concious costumer must be kept.

The critical issues to be discussed this year include:

- Managing multiple standards, audit requirements and certification systems

- New concerns on the horizon such as water scarcity, nanotechnology and packaging's influence on product safety

- Complications caused by allergens, food borne ilness and fraud

- A reevaluation of China as an important link in the food chain seen from an organizational and a practical perspective
