Please join us for a PMA Virtual Town Hall at 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, January 6: New Year, Old Food Safety Problems.

As we bid goodbye to 2020 and usher in 2021, there is an excitement about new opportunities that the new year will bring. There is also a gnawing concern that many of the food safety problems that we dealt with last year, may continue to cause concern this year. Join us for a conversation “New year, same ol’ food safety problems. Has anything changed?”

Panelists:

  • William D. Marler, Esq., Attorney, Marler Clark LLP PS
  • Drew McDonald, Vice President Food Safety & Quality, Taylor Farms
  • Lawrence Goodridge, Leung Family Professor in Food Safety at University of Guelph, and Director of Canadian Research Institute for Food Safety
  • Wendelyn Jones, Ph.D., Executive Director, ILSI North America

Moderator:

  • Dr. Max Teplitski, Chief Science Officer, PMA

PMA Virtual Town Halls provide a venue to share information between and for the benefit of PMA members and the industry.
