Food safety is entering a new era where traditional compliance-based systems are no longer enough to manage the speed, complexity, and interconnected nature of modern food operations. This roundtable will explore the emerging concept of “Food Safety 4.0” — a shift from static, retrospective programs toward predictive, connected, and continuously adaptive food safety systems”.
Participants will discuss how organizations can integrate data, technology, culture, leadership, and operational intelligence to move beyond reactive management and toward proactive risk prevention. The session will also examine the growing role of AI, predictive analytics, digital ecosystems, human behavior, and enterprise-wide accountability in protecting consumer trust and strengthening organizational resilience.
The discussion is intended for food safety, quality, operations, supply chain, and executive leaders seeking practical strategies for modernizing food safety performance while maintaining strong foundational principles.
Food Safety 4.0 is not simply about adopting new technology. It is about redefining food safety as a continuous, enterprise-wide capability focused on prediction, resilience, and trust.
