Beyond Compliance: Building a Culture of Food Safety with GFSI’s 2026 Framework
Hosted by Food Safety Magazine
Food safety culture goes beyond policies, procedures, and audit requirements. It is reflected in the decisions people make every day and in how consistently food safety is understood and practiced across an organization.
GFSI’s 2026 Position Paper, A Culture of Food Safety, introduces an updated five-dimension framework covering values, leadership, people, accountability, and communication.
In this 30-minute webinar, FoodChain ID will explore the updated framework and what it means for food safety and quality teams. We’ll look at how organizations can assess their current culture, identify gaps, and make food safety part of continuous improvement.
