(LRQA: Coventry, UK) -- This free, live two-hour webinar will be held on July 1, 2009, and will take place twice—at 09:30 and 17:30, UK time—to account for global time zones. The content is the same for both times.

Following up on from the initial LRQA Food Safety Webinar in April, 2009, this second webinar features an update on the Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) scheme 22000 owned by the Netherlands-based Foundation for Food Safety Certification.

The focus of this webinar is to provide organizations with the information needed to make responsible and informed decisions that help minimize food safety risk across the supply chain.

The webinar is led by one of the world's leading food safety experts, Cor Groenveld. Groenveld is the chairman of the board of the Foundation for Food Safety Certification, the organization responsible for the FSSC 22000 development.

The Global Food Safety Initiative, whose members include the world's largest food manufacturers and retailers, have now accepted the content of FSSC 22000. This means that FSSC 22000 certification audits can start and that organizations can begin applying for GFSI approved certification.
