PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The objective of the 105th Annual CASA Educational and Training Seminar is to provide a venue where field inspectors, food program managers, industry leaders and academia from across the region can personally interact and share ideas while receiving information on current and emerging food topics impacting health and safety. The agenda includes presentations that will give local and state regulators an opportunity to hear a national and international perspective on food safety and will include emerging hot topics such as safety issues regarding the recent infant formula recall, standardized inspection processes, special processes at retail and HACCP principals. The agenda included in this application contains the list of topics to be presented at the conference. To our knowledge, this is one of the most comprehensive and cost effective in-person educational opportunities to address a range of current food safety issues facing state and local regulatory programs. CASA maintains the cost of the conference as low as possible in an effort to allow access to the seminar to the widest range of participants. The low cost of the conference enables food safety professionals from all levels of the regulatory community and industry to participate. The training will be held at the Crown Plaza Pittsburgh South in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania from May 1, 2023 - May 4, 2023 and 125 participants are anticipated. The conference draws representatives of state, county, municipal and federal regulatory agencies charged with public health and safety responsibilities, the regulated industries and university and research institution professionals. The conference will contribute to a more educated, informed, and integrated food regulatory community and this in turn will contribute to a safer food supply.
