November 19-20, 2024
Big 10 Conference Center
5440 Park Place, Rosemont, IL 60018
REGISTRATION CLOSED
For many food processors, food allergens remain among the most challenging food safety concerns to manage, and undeclared food allergens are the most common cause of FDA food recalls. With the implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), it is more critical than ever to have well-documented, effective allergen management programs.
