Join Kara Mikkelson, Director of Food Safety for ChemStation and special guest Dr. Joe Baumert of University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Food Allergy Research and Resource Program for an insightful webinar exploring the critical intersection of food allergens and sanitation. Food allergens remain a leading cause of recalls in the food industry, and effective sanitation is a frontline defense. This webinar will begin with an overview of the FDA’s “Big Nine” allergens—milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame—and why they pose such a significant risk to consumers. We’ll then dive into practical strategies to prevent cross-contact, including validated cleaning procedures, verification methods, and sanitation program design.
