I recently had the privilege of joining the virtual workshop hosted by the Conference for Food Protection, which had the theme "The Impact of New Food Technologies and New Foods on the Food Safety Professional." This event took place from April 13 to April 15, 2021. Despite the ongoing global challenges due to the pandemic, affecting both the food retail and foodservice sectors, everyone involved—experts, industry professionals, regulators, academics, consumers, and other stakeholders—were highly motivated to discuss the food safety and sanitation challenges and solutions emerging from Industry 4.0 advancements.
One of the main discussions revolved around 3-D printed foods. A significant part of the conversation highlighted the difficulties in maintaining proper cleaning and sanitizing protocols for the equipment used in creating these futuristic meals. Another important topic was edible cannabis, where the absence of uniform regulations across states has led to inconsistent testing standards and varying Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), which could potentially exacerbate food safety concerns.
We also delved into lab-grown meats, a rapidly evolving field. Compared to traditional meat production, this innovative approach is navigating intricate regulatory, allergenic, and religious considerations. Additionally, we explored the role of virtual reality and artificial intelligence in food safety. This included food safety training using SmartGlass, making predictive decisions through algorithm-based programs, and automating equipment troubleshooting.
Another fascinating discussion was on aggregating social media data for decision-making purposes. The focus was on leveraging social media platforms to monitor instances of foodborne illnesses and track unsafe food products circulating in the market.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to participate in the upcoming virtual biennial conference scheduled from August 15 to August 21, 2021. This event will primarily address issues related to the Food Safety Code.

The Conference for Food Protection (CFP) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1971 to ensure all stakeholders—industry, regulatory bodies, academia, consumers, and professionals—have equal opportunities to contribute to the creation or revision of food safety guidelines like the U.S. Food Code.

Industry 4.0 generally refers to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by the automation of traditional manufacturing processes using advanced smart technologies.
