It is required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) in various regulatory statutes. An organized and well-managed environmental monitoring program (EMP) can serve as a verification tool for a sanitation program, and it can save a facility from a potential costly, damaging recall and/or downgraded product. An important component of a sound EMP is monitoring for pathogenic bacteria. There is no "one-size-fits-all" program for pathogen environmental monitoring (PEMP), because each PEMP is based on the risks unique to each processing facility, equipment, product, people, history, etc. In this webinar, food safety and microbiology experts from industry, government, and academia will discuss the mechanics of EMPs and, specifically, PEMPs; how they are used in industry sanitation programs; and the regulatory requirements for verification with EMPs.

Then, we will discuss the impact of these critical details to whole building performance and provide guidelines to follow when designing and specifying to ensure both design and code requirements are met. Project and assembly specific details will be used to highlight the importance for construction trade sequencing. Quality control and operational maintenance will be covered as ways to ensure long-term performance of the building enclosure. Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss the requirements to manage moisture, air, vapor and thermal continuity. 2. Recognize the changing building and energy codes and how interface details impact meeting the requirements. 3. Explain how to design interface details to ensure they will meet air, water and thermal control requirements on both current and future project designs. 4. Determine design and specification requirements to set performance requirements for wall systems.

More health-minded consumers are gravitating to protein consumption and turning to new protein-packed foods and beverages. There’s a simultaneous swell of interest and demand from consumers interested in alternative protein sources—because of commitments to diet and/or planetary health. Statista projections suggest that the worldwide market for protein ingredients (plant and animal-based) is set to grow to more than US $70 billion U.S. dollars by 2025, increasing massively from the 2020 figure of US $52 billion dollars. Food and beverage formulators have a seemingly ever-expanding toolbox of protein ingredient options. Beyond traditional animal meat- and dairy-based standards, there’s a long, growing list of plant-based options. There’s also an equally fascinating list of new offerings originating from fermentation, myco-related sources, algal and marine plants, cell culturing, insects and even air itself. Covering this dynamic topic from the perspectives of trends and technologies are Stephanie Lind, Co-Founder, Elohi Strategic Advisors; and Mervyn De Souza, Elohi’s Chief Science Officer.

Recent research has characterized the limitations of conventional ATP tests—limitations that can lead to false negative hygiene assessments. The issue relates to the tendency of ATP to degrade in many soils and under common plant environmental conditions. If this depletion occurs, ATP-based assessments become increasingly less sensitive and may yield indications that the surface in question is clean when, in fact, significant levels of soil may still remain. Conditions resulting in ATP depletion are most common in typical manufacturing venues and can result in a false negative in areas sensitive to food hygiene maintenance. This webinar will present recent research from the University of Wisconsin–Madison demonstrating this ATP-depletion phenomenon and how processors can guard against such false negative assessments.

Natural, Organic Food, Beverage Options Continue to Grow with Clean Label Appeal Consumer surveys conducted by Innova Market Insights during the past two years demonstrate a range of perceptions regarding natural and organic. In the 2020 Innova Health & Nutrition Survey, consumers most associated the concept of “clean” labeling/eating with natural and organic ingredients, as well as no additives/preservatives. At least 60% of the consumers surveyed from 10 countries say it is important or very important to choose natural foods for their inherent nutrition as part of healthy eating. Naturalness was named as the top reason for the increasing consumption of organic products. One-third of respondents consider it healthier to buy organic and at least one in five consumers surveyed say they buy organic products to avoid pesticides, because they trust organic and because they taste better. The 2020 Innova Category Survey asked consumers to name up to three important factors from a list of 22 factors that influence purchasing decisions in 29 product categories. Naturalness and the absence of additives averaged out as the second and third most important factors after product safety. Organic and non-GMO positionings were also in the top 10. This put them ahead of indulgence and the many specific health and wellness factors. In this webinar, our speakers will discuss: * Market growth and active, key product categories * New product innovation examples * Natural, organic ingredient and formulation advances & challenges * Key opportunities for 2022 and 2023 Register Register Login Enter It’s Only Natural!
