The Produce Marketing Association (PMA) has revealed that the important issue of food safety will play a major role at this year's Fresh Summit International Convention & Exposition, which takes place on 15-18 October in Florida, US.
This year's Fresh Summit will feature the latest on food safety provided across a variety of settings, to help answer questions and deliver business solutions for industry visitors.
New this year, the exposition will give high visibility to the topic in the Food Safety Solutions Centre, which will be prominently located on the show floor in booth 201at the Orange County Convention Centre.
Designated as a one-stop interactive destination, the centre will provide educational exhibits, live demonstrations and videos related to food safety technology in the areas of packaging, traceability, processing equipment, product testing, water purification and more.
'This centre is part of the fulfilment of PMA's commitment to help industry members get answers to their most critical food safety questions,' said Joe Pezzini, COO of Ocean Mist Farms and chair of PMA's Produce Safety, Science and Technology Committee. 'Food safety is the most important thing we do to safeguard and ensure consumer confidence in our industry's products.'
Meanwhile, several workshops will run during the event examining food safety from different angles, including sales and marketing, while there will also be sessions on the Produce Traceability Initiative and the results of the latest food safety research.
