Food safety tops the agenda at FPSA Operations Conference

Members of FPSA (Food Processing Suppliers Association) and the IFT (Institute of Food Technologists) met in Chicago on September 10 to discuss food safety at the Annual Operations Conference of FPSA. The two general session speakers were IFT members, Dr. Katherine Swanson, vice president, Ecolab, and Dr. Joseph Shebuski, director of Global Safety for Cargill, Inc.

FPSA and IFT: A Union Whose Time Has Come

FPSA and its predecessor associations have a long history of delivering the finest trade show events to the food and beverage industry. We have sought to bring growth and value to these events by forming strategic alliances. We are again entering into a new relationship and alliance with the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) which we feel has unlimited and far-reaching potential to serve both processors and suppliers in the global food and beverage industry.

fpsa Report: Customer Connections

The question: “Why did you attend the FPSA Conference?”

One supplier’s answer: “To listen and learn.”

But listen to whom? “As a supplier, I have the opportunity to hear from some of my most important customers who are speaking at Conference,” he answered. “That experience, like the MasterCard commercial says, is priceless.”

The lineup for the 2009 Conference will not disappoint. From the General Sessions to the Industry Council meetings, listening to and learning from the customer are the keystones of the program. 

A powerful, one-two punch—presentations by Gary Hirshberg, president and CEO of Stonyfield Farm and Dr. Charlotte Allen, program manager, External Innovation of Kraft Foods—kicks off the Conference.
