Small food brands need clear, reliable answers to navigate food safety and compliance challenges.

U.S. Department of Agriculture's new AskFSIS Live sessions give businesses direct access to FSIS experts for guidance on labeling, regulations, and food safety requirements.

Accessible education and expert support are key to strengthening food safety across the supply chain.

Most corrective action plans don't fail because of bad intentions. They fail because they fix symptoms instead of causes.

That's the core message from Meagan Jurick of CMX1 in SQFI's SQF365 digital seminar: "The Power of Effective Corrective and Preventative Actions."

Her framing is worth repeating: "CAPA should not be seen as punishment. It's an opportunity to learn, improve, and demonstrate your company's commitment to doing things right."

Effective CAPA reduces recalls, builds operational consistency, and strengthens your food safety culture. It's one of the most powerful tools available. Watch the full seminar to see how to put it to work. 👉 https://bit.ly/4245Ea1

🌎 World Food Safety Day is June 7th, and it’s an opportunity for everyone in the global food supply chain to take action.

From producers and manufacturers to retailers, auditors, suppliers, and service providers, every stakeholder plays a role in building safer food systems. This year’s World Food Safety Day 2026 theme, “From burden to solutions – safe food everywhere,” reminds us that real progress happens when data, collaboration, and practical action come together.

At SQFI, that message is central to how stronger food safety cultures are built across the supply chain.

See how we are championing safe food everywhere.
