Freida’s, Lunds & Byerlys and ReposiTrak to Highlight the Importance of Food Safety Technology at the 2018 SQF Conference
October 18, 2018
The Panel Discussion Will Be on October 25, 2018 in Atlanta, GA.
SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ReposiTrak,
Inc., the industry leader in compliance, food safety and risk management
for the retail supply chain, is joining Frieda’s Specialty Produce and
Lund Food Holdings for an educational session at the SQF
International Conference in Atlanta, GA on Thursday, October 25,
2018. The presentation will focus on the past, current and
future of technology to support food safety initiatives like compliance,
supply chain collaboration and transparency.
The panel for the session includes Jackie Caplan Wiggins, VP and COO at
Frieda’s Specialty Produce, and Chris Gindorff, Senior Manager Q&A Food
Safety at Lund Food Holdings, who will join Derek Hannum, SVP of
Customer Success at ReposiTrak. They will be discussing how technology
helps increase compliance levels, allows for better information sharing
between retailers and suppliers and provides real-time access to
necessary documentation.
“Chris comes from a retailer’s outlook and Jackie brings a supplier’s
perspective to the discussion, so we’ll have both trading partners
represented in telling the audience about the importance of technology
in food safety compliance,” Hannum said. “This in-depth discussion
allows the SQF conference attendees to hear from both sides of the
equation.”
“The time spent looking for a compliance document in a file cabinet
could be better spent growing our business,” Caplan Wiggins said.
“Demands from our clients vary widely. Each client requires different
documentation, so it is a never-ending process that needs to be
automated to get ahead.”
“There is not enough discussion on the business perspective on the issue
of food safety,” Gindorff said. “There are potential major ramifications
for not being compliant and the management of all those documents can
become unwieldy without a technology solution to solve for it.”
The SQF International Conference is a unique education and networking
event providing SQF stakeholders and food safety professionals with
practical knowledge and skills to improve the efficacy of their food
safety and quality assurance programs and ensure compliance with
government food safety regulations, corporate policies and the SQF Code.
“The conference attendees will have a unique opportunity to hear
first-hand from their colleagues who know the importance of a diligent
compliance, food safety and quality program,” said Robert Garfield,
Chief Food Safety Assessment Officer & SVP at FMI. “In addition to this
panel of speakers and other presentations, attendees will have the
opportunity to network with other food safety professionals as the
entire event is designed with professional development needs of SQF
Stakeholders in mind and takes an applied, not academic, approach to
food safety and quality education.”
