A message from our sponsor

Listeria is an ever-present concern for those in the food industry, especially for those who deal with fresh and chilled ready-to-eat (RTE) products. To address these concerns, Vikan have reached out to their extensive food safety network and assembled a panel of experts for a free online roundtable to discuss recent outbreaks and changes in Listeria regulation, both in the EU and US, best practices for Listeria control, and the future of Listeria management.

Our experts include:
  • Dr. John Butts, co-developer of the Seek and Destroy Process for Listeria control and retired from Land O’Frost
  • Catherine Cosby, director of food safety at Kroger, with 18 years of industry experience
  • Leigh Tinkler, divisional technical manager at Cranswick, with an extensive background in RTE food production
  • Nicola Wilson, group microbiologist for Samworth Bros, a leading UK RTE food manufacturer
  • Dale Grinstead, a microbiologist with over 30 years of experience
  • Dr. Jack Burnett, Vikan’s North America hygiene specialist, with published research on Listeria
  • Deb Smith, Vikan’s global hygiene specialist and veteran with 40+ years of food safety experience
Deb Smith will be chairing the panel discussion.

This webinar is free and will be presented in English with live interpretation available in Spanish, French, and German. Register today to catch the presentation on June. 4th, 2025, at 9 a.m. EDT.
