The Food Safety Summit Resource Center, a regular PACK EXPO feature since 2010, brings
together experts in food production and food safety for a series of educational opportunities.
Subject matter experts will provide information focused on best practices and recent advances
on the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) as well
as important topics including HACCP, food fraud, federal and state regulations, environmental
monitoring, allergens and compliance issues.
“Since FSMA was announced in 2011, manufacturers have, out of necessity, been
hyper-focused on food safety issues,” says Charles D. Yuska, president & CEO, PMMI. “The
Food Safety Summit Resource Center gives PACK EXPO attendees a chance to get the
specific information they need to stay abreast of this important issue.”
FSMA rules, which are still in the process of being finalized, attack food safety concerns
proactively, taking a stance that favors prevention over recovery.
“Food safety violations and product recalls will cost your company money and devalue your
brand. That’s unacceptable at best. The Food Safety Summit Resource Center is a place where
PACK EXPO attendees address their specific questions with leading experts — so they can
return to the office better educated and ready to put plans into motion to avoid violations and
recalls,” says Scott Wolters, event director, Food Safety Summit.
PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2015 welcomes the co-located Pharma EXPO (produced in
