As the global food industry races to meet sustainability and climate change goals, the fundamentals of food safety cannot be forgotten. In 2025, the FDA recorded over 200 recalls in the United States — with undeclared allergens accounting for half, and pathogen contamination close behind. These figures remind us that technology and innovation mean little if the basics are neglected.
This webinar takes us back to what truly protects public health: allergen management, cleaning and sanitation, personal hygiene, facility and environmental control, and supplier assurance. We’ll explore how returning to these essentials not only prevents recalls but strengthens consumer trust and operational excellence. Participants will rediscover that sustainability begins with safety — and safety begins with discipline, everyday practices done well.
