Web seminar summary of Product Development – How Product Developers affect Food Safety
Research and Development is the start point for the creation of new products, the modification of existing products and the introduction/modification of new/existing packaging. The introduction of new ingredients and packaging can be disastrous for a food company. That is if it isn’t done methodically, it can lead to the introduction of new hazards into the process. Therefore, the R&D Department must be in continuous communication with key stakeholders in the manufacturing side. This ensures that the new introductions are not only compatible with existing processes but also that a hazard analysis is done to ensure food safety. On the other hand, keeping food safety and creativity in harmony can prove tricky. This is because food safety considerations may change the original concept during the development or modifications process. You need to make the changes conceived will keep the consumer out of harms way. This seminar will focus on the role of R&D in the manufacturing process. It will show a practical tool to ensure that all aspects from creation to launch are taken into account when introducing new concepts into existing operations.
