Monday, April 23, 2012 from 14:00 – 16:30 EDT, the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) will offer “Product Recalls: Ethical, Legal, Regulatory and Media Concerns,” a webcast geared toward producers and manufacturers. Developed for feed, ingredient and pet food manufacturers, the webcast will cover topics that impact your compliance, and will focus on what managers should know about recalling products from the marketplace. Many of your questions will be answered including:
• Must I notify FDA?
• Do I need to recall if it is a reportable food?
• What do I tell my customers?
• Should I inform the media and what should I say?
The webcast will explore the legal (what does the Food Safety Modernization Act say?), regulatory (what must I report and to whom?), ethical (how to be a good corporate citizen) and media concerns (should I send out a recall notice to the media?). These topics will be addressed by featured speakers:
• Robert Hahn, Esq., legal counsel, Olsson Frank Weeda Terman Matz P.C.
• Steve Kopperud, executive vice president, Policy Directions Inc.
• Richard Sellers, vice president, feed regulation and nutrition, AFIA
• Keith Epperson, vice president of manufacturing and training, AFIA
Who should attend? The webcast was developed for feed, ingredient and pet food manufacturers. Staff from your entire organization will benefit from this webcast. Topics that impact your compliance and quality directors, mill managers, communications staff, legal department and customer service personnel will be covered.
