📝🌟Q4 has been a period of Learning for me!📚✨ I am glad to have participated in a Virtual Masterclass on Advertising & Claims Regulations for Packaged Foods! The session helped me understand the critical role this regulation plays in ensuring the integrity and transparency of information in the food industry. In an era where consumer awareness is at its peak, adherence to Food Safety & Standards (Advertisement & Claims) Regulations, 2018 is not just a legal necessity, but a commitment to building trust and credibility. Understanding and navigating these regulations is paramount for anyone involved in the dynamic world of packaged foods. Even as a consumer, it is always good to be aware about the intricacies of this regulation. Thank you Vaidehi Kalzunkar madam for the invaluable insights you shared with us! This masterclass by ITCFSAN has been quite informative & useful, and I'm eager to apply this knowledge in my role. Here's to promoting transparency, consumer trust, and elevating standards in the exciting realm of packaged foods! 🌐🍽️🥫🍫 Let's continue to learn, grow, and shape a responsible future for the food industry!🎓✨📝 #packagedfoods #advertising #fssairegulations #industryinsights #professionaldevelopment #foodindustry #transparencymatters #continuouslearning #foodandbeverage

Neogen Asia-Pacific will hold its first Neogen Ask the Expert webinar for 2024, entitled "Using Data to Elevate Your Food Safety Culture: Connecting Culture Maturity to Data Communication and Challenges" on January 19, 2024, Friday. This will be presented by Lone Jespersen, Ph.D., Principal and Founder, Cultivate SA.    Creating a strong food safety culture goes beyond compliance; it’s about cultivating an environment where everyone is proficient in food safety, has access to learning about what’s required specifically for their function and role, and has the courage to raise their hand. Insights from data can be a valuable component of achieving this, providing visibility to progress toward a proficient and courageous workforce and its connection to improved food safety. Learn from Dr. Lone Jespersen as she explores how organizations can leverage data to enhance their food safety culture. #Neogen #FoodSafetyMatters GRB Enterprises, Inc.
