Formation Systems Schedules Innovation Webcast for Food and Beverage Manufacturers
Formation Systems announced the second of its series of live, informational Webcasts on product lifecycle management (PLM). The Webcast, focused on innovation in the food and beverage industry, is scheduled for December 1, 2004 at 11:00 a.m. EST.
The Webcast, "How to Build Regulatory Compliance into the New Product Development Process," features industry experts addressing how food and beverage manufacturers are leveraging product development systems to address the increasing number of international and federal regulations facing the industry, including the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) and Trans-Fat Labeling regulation.
Fifty-one percent of recent food and drug recalls are due to mislabeling, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Webcast will address how manufacturers can avoid recalls by meeting the challenges of achieving regulatory compliance. In addition, participants will learn how dealing with compliance issues in the early stages of product development can lead to significant benefits.
Webcast speakers will include Steve Phelan, co-founder and senior vice president for Formation Systems, and Herb Rau, quality control director for Barber Foods. Webcast attendees will be eligible to win a free copy of "Managing Allergens in Food Processing Establishments," a $200 book authored by the National Food Processors Association (NFPA) and regulatory experts.
Registration is free and can be completed online through the following Web address: http://www.formationsystems.com/webinars/index.html
