Sept. 18 | 2 pm ET

The FDA Food Code sets the standard for food safety and serves as the foundation for inspections nationwide. Yet, no two inspections are exactly alike. Depending on the type of operation, inspectors may focus on different priorities—from specialized requirements in healthcare kitchens to risks tied to seasonal or wild-harvested ingredients, or the unique challenges of hot-holding practices in convenience stores.

In this webinar, you’ll hear directly from experienced inspectors as they share how they adapt their approach while upholding consistent standards.
