Meet Global Food Safety Standards and Increase Productivity

Leading supplier of precision instruments and services METTLER TOLEDO is partnering with the British Retail Consortium (BRC) to present a joint webinar entitled "Adopting BRC Global Standards & Increasing Productivity."

With consumer concerns on one side and expanding regulatory requirements on the other, food processors can find themselves caught in a web of media attention that saps employee morale and marshals executive resources. Documenting manufacturing processes under uniform standards such as BRC, IFS, ISO 22000 and SQF2000 can help put corporate focus back where it belongs-on production-by making processes as transparent and safe as possible.

This co-hosted webinar addresses BRC Global Standards fundamentals and common certification obstacles. Participants will also discover how METTLER TOLEDO can support certification efforts with enhanced materials traceability, hygienic equipment design, quality data management, improved foreign body detection, and exacting equipment calibration-all of which target enhanced productivity and profitability. Presenters: John Kukoly - Senior Technical Marketing Consultant, BRC Global Standards Eric J. Schmitt - Market Manager, METTLER TOLEDO.

The webinar is offered as an OnDemand Webinar and can be viewed at your convenience.
