The company has partnered with its customers and industry experts to cover relevant topics such as the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), GFSI compliance, ingredient and raw material risk, and foreign supplier verification, to alert and educate the industry on relevant topics that can affect performance, profitability, and customer satisfaction.

Guests have included Jack Kennedy, Vice President of Operations at The Chelsea Milling Company—makers of Jiffy Mix™--and Jessica Wasserman, noted industry expert and lawyer in Washington, D.C., focused on advising food businesses and industry associations on import and export issues.
