Food Formulation and Processing – The Intersection with Food Safety
Virtual, Event
July 1, 2025
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
As the conversation around processed foods evolves, proposed changes to food products and manufacturing practices could have significant impacts on microbial food safety.
This webinar explored two critical components of this issue: food processing and food formulation.
Experts discussed how modifications to processing methods and ingredient composition may affect microbial control, shelf stability, and product safety.
Attendees gained a deeper understanding of the essential role that processing and formulation play in maintaining the microbial safety of our food supply — and what new challenges may arise as the industry adapts.
