New Speaker Added, Hotel Deadline Extended: FPSA Conference

Special Announcement

FPSA is proud to announce, in coordination with IFT a special addition to the program at the 2010 FPSA Conference titled Food Safety Complexities and Opportunities.  On Friday March 12^th, Dr. Robert Gravani, Professor of Food Science and Director of the National Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) Program at Cornell University will deliver a lively discussion on the ways in which equipment design can aid in the development of a safer food supply. Using case studies, Dr. Gravani will show the impact that poor equipment and plant design had on some notable outbreaks of foodborne illness and discuss opportunities to redesign equipment to limit the potential intentional introduction of contaminants.

Joining the other twenty five speakers at this year’s Conference, Dr. Gravani adds to what was already FPSA’s strongest program to date.  For a full list of this year’s speakers and to register go to www.fpsa.org/2010-conference-speakers
