Midwest Laboratories hosting symposium on food, beverage regulations

Omaha, Neb.-based Midwest Laboratories is hosting its first-ever “Voices in Food Production” symposium on Nov. 14. The inaugural event will bring together experts from across the Midwest to discuss the regulations impacting food and beverage companies, and the steps they can take to remain compliant. Topics will include the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), nutritional labeling, allergens and shelf life.

“Many of our clients have voiced concerns about their companies’ need to be compliant with current regulatory requirements,” said Brent Pohlman, president of Midwest Laboratories, which offers regulatory, governmental, commercial and consumer testing services. “As the food industry continues to evolve, we are continually seeking new ways to deliver quality, comprehensive information that empowers our clients to remain one step ahead, and we see the symposium as another way to do that.”

Speakers include Michelle Wright, an independent consultant in food regulation and labeling; Jane Caldwell, Ph.D., assistant technical director for Midwest Laboratories; Julie Neuhalfen, independent consultant and food safety and quality specialist; and Cornelius Hugo, Ph.D., food safety professional for AIB International.
