Protecting consumers by building strong food safety cultures
The Alliance to Stop Foodborne Illness and the U.S. FDA have partnered on a multi-part webinar series focused on advancing food safety culture. As part of the FDA’s New Era of Smarter Food Safety initiative, the series explores how changing beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors can reduce foodborne illness. Featuring experts from both public and private sectors, the webinars highlight the importance of fostering strong food safety cultures and using science-based metrics to assess their effectiveness. The program offers valuable insights for both newcomers and seasoned professionals in the field of food safety.
Expanding from our work in Series One, the 2025-2026 webinar series will explore a different aspect of Edgar Schein's model of organizational culture building from "Underlying Beliefs", "Espoused Values" and finally "Artifacts".
Participants will walk away with actionable strategies to improve their company's food safety culture, as well as approaches to address common misconceptions that can impact food safety behavior in day-to-day operations.
