Event: Achieving GFSI and FSMA Compliance
Description: More information available in the pdf flyer in the upper right corner.

In this half-day workshop, you will discover:
- What impact FSMA is likely to have on your operations in the next 18 months.
- Which companies are most at risk from FSMA.
- If your current recordkeeping will satisfy the FDA inspector and the GFSI auditor.
- The differences between GFSI certifications and which might be best for your business.
- How GFSI is addressing smaller companies with limited compliance resources.
- The importance of having a published and practiced food safety plan.
- Whether your current employee training meets FDA and GFSI guidelines.
- How other Illinois companies achieved GFSI certification and what they are doing to prepare for FSMA.
Also, hear from Jared Krischel, BRC Implementation Lead for Oak State Products about how they achieved a certification under their chosen GFSI scheme.
