Protecting consumers by building strong food safety cultures
food safety culturewebinar series
Dynamic dialogues featuring food safety leaders from across the supply-chain.
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.
SERIESTWO
Launching September 2025
Hear from FDA and industry leaders who will dive deep into critical aspects of food safety culture, building from basic assumptions which underpin an organization’s food safety work to the messages and programs which support an organization’s food safety culture.
Expanding from our work in Series One, each webinar 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.
