Discussion on IAFP 2023 Symposia/Roundtable/Workshop
Deadline for Submissions for IAFP 2021 is October 4, 2022.
Baby formula Roundtable. Doing retrospective look
and trying to get Abbott, FDA, and Independent expert. (Jeff
Kornacki). Jeff accepted the role of a speaker. However, he was
not the original submitter. This was brought up on a previous
PDG call by no one in particular. Still need a primary contact for
this session.
Novel food processing sanitation. Plant-based meats and lab
culture based food (Rick Stokes)
No one spoke up about this topic during the PDG meeting on
July 31, 2022
Automated sanitation methods, latest advancements.
(Rick Stokes, Joerg Zacharias, [from Cronus], Deb Smith: a
PhD student who is investigating automated cleaning may be
interested in this session). No one spoke up about this topic
during the PDG meeting on July 31, 2022
Roundtable - Sanitation access to small and medium-sized
growers. David with NC State. Charles suggested speaking
to Jennifer McEntire and the Produce Safety Alliance on this
beforehand. Rick also mentioned that distributors are part of the
solution and that should be addressed. An abstract was written
for this and proposed in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable PDG.
Developing a world class EMP. This was an idea submitted
by Jeff Kornacki. This idea is about expanding what we do with
EMPs. It's not enough to hunt for 1 or 2 microorganisms. We
have the tools to do much more. So why don't we?
What hurdles are in our way to eliminate foodborne
pathogens in packaged foods? This is an idea Dave
Blomquist proposed. The idea being that we can eliminate
foodborne pathogens but need to map out the hurdles in our
path to achieve this goal.
Gems in field. This was submitted by Michele Sayles.
This stem from a lack of communication around actual
successes and failures in verification and validation in the
field. We know a lot about benchtop lab work but we want to
understand what's happening in real life and what lessons
can we learn from other sectors to help out low moisture food
environments.
Bacteriophages and their uses in the food industry.
This was an idea proposed by Charles Giambrone. While
this is not core to food hygiene and sanitation PDG we
could certainly be a co-sponsor.
Risk assessment for hygienic and equipment design.
Ensuring the right design in zone risk assessment for brown
and green field and in facilities. It was brought up that this
could be co-sponsored with the hygienic/equipment design
PDG for 3A. This could also funnel into the (g) Gems in
the Field. It may also be a workshop for next year. If it is a
workshop the group agreed that allergens should be part of
the training.
Sustainability in cleaning. This was submitted by a
gentleman from Kroger. Sustainability is a key to many
businesses and food safety plays a part. One way to become
more sustainable is to make considerations in your sanitation
program, i.e., reducing water, using super concentrates to
reduce plastics, etc.
Defining what sanitary mean? This was brought up by AFFI.
Essentially, we don't have a standard for what " sanitary " means.
This could be a roundtable discussion that highlights what
sanitary means to different sectors.
