On Demand Until September 9, 2026
Duration: 60 minutes
Abstract
The global food supply chain has become increasingly complex and expansive, making food safety compliance more critical than ever before. Despite growing demand for rigorous oversight, the food safety sector faces a significant workforce shortage, particularly in roles related to auditing, inspections, and assessments. Furthermore, a recent, global survey organized by Campden BRI shows that many food businesses are not following recommended best practices and are meeting only minimum requirements for training. Speakers from North Carolina State University and Campden BRI will discuss how improvements and enhancements to education and training for food safety professionals can address the dire workforce shortage in the food industry, as well as improve the quality and implementation of food safety training initiatives. From this webinar, attendees will learn:
- How the global workforce shortage in food safety is affecting the food supply chain and creating gaps in food safety oversight
- The food safety challenges revealed by benchmark data on training program implementation and impacts
- How coordinated international efforts to improve education and training for food safety professionals can benefit the workforce and shrink gaps in food safety
