Joe Stout Joins FPSA Team as Food Safety Consultant
McLean, VA – David Seckman, President of the Food Processing Suppliers Association, announced that Joe Stout, former Global Director of Product Protection, Sanitation & Hygienic Design at Kraft, will serve as a Food Safety Consultant to the Food Safety Task Force of the Association. “We are delighted to have someone with Joe’s experience and wealth of knowledge to work with our members as they tackle the important task of designing equipment that ensures the safe production of food products”, said Seckman.
Stout gained industry-wide recognition and honors for his work leading the Equipment Design Task Force at GMA and AMI. He has raised the awareness of the need for sanitary design of equipment and food safety in all areas of the food industry. “Understanding the new Food Safety Modernization Act is critical to suppliers of equipment, machinery, and services to the food industry”, said David Camp, President of Key Technology and Chairman of the FPSA Food Safety Task Force. “Our efforts will be strengthened greatly by the expertise that Joe Stout will provide”, added Camp.
Among the more than thirty seminars that FPSA will offer at the upcoming PROCESS EXPO (Nov.1-4, Chicago), three will feature Joe Stout:
Preventive Programs for Perfection in Food Safety will discuss the integration of preventive programs within a food safety culture to drive to perfection;
Working with Legacy Infrastructure and Equipment in the “FSMA” Era, will deal with the challenges of working with “design challenged” equipment in the new regulatory environment; and,
Managing Pathogen Risks in Dairy Operations which goes beyond traditional 3-A standards for design criteria “inside the pipe” and discusses risks “outside the pipe” where the potential for contamination comes from the plant environment outside of the protective pipe.
