Workshop Description:
In an effort to ensure full transparency with the food, ingredient and food supplier industries, the FDA Los Angeles District Office is hosting a Regulatory Policy Lecture Series on how FDA goes about improving product, processes, and service quality through the use of quality tools. During cGMP investigations and through import inspections, FDA has noted several areas where industry could improve product quality. We will share our observations with food companies, ingredient companies, and suppliers to the food industry. The audience for these lectures includes professionals working in the food industry or with the food industry. These workshops will include presentations by the FDA SMEs and Food Industry SMEs discussing our current challenges with product quality and use of quality tools to address these quality issues.

This is the second lecture, part of a quarterly Lecture Series where FDA and Industry come together to provide regulatory guidance and Good Manufacturing Practice topics and case studies. Primary goal will be to explore methods to resolve these case studies. Registration is limited to FDA employees, Local Food, Ingredient, and Food Supplier Professionals. This facility can only accommodate 85 people.

You must register by September 15th to attend this event. No walk-ins will be allowed due to security requirements at this facility.

Future Discussion Group meetings will be open to other students and may be held at various locations to accommodate the convenience of the attendees.

This event is organized with the help of MEIRxRS.
