In today’s fast-moving and increasingly complex supply chains, traditional supplier audits alone are no longer enough to protect food safety, brand reputation, and business continuity. With emerging risks such as food fraud, regulatory shifts, geopolitical disruptions, and evolving consumer expectations, food companies must adopt a broader and more proactive approach to supplier oversight.

Around the world, dairy has long been a foundation of cultural identity, nourishment, and craftsmanship—and now, those global traditions are reshaping innovation in the U.S. market.

This session explores how international dairy traditions can guide U.S. innovation, offering lessons in authenticity, versatility, and emotional connection. Attendees will discover how to translate these time-honored practices into modern, scalable products that resonate with American shoppers. We’ll also examine how to tell the cultural story behind each ingredient responsibly and effectively, ensuring these global inspirations are honored while meeting today’s demand for discovery and transparency.

Fresh departments are notorious for making two opposite—but equally costly—mistakes with data and insights. Some companies don’t invest at all, and lose money by operating without the best information to guide decisions. Others do invest, but allocate dollars inefficiently, fail to extract full value, and end up disappointed with their return. In both cases, the outcome is the same: money is being left on the table.

At Perimeter Insights, we believe a simple truth: If you’re happy with the results you’re getting, keep doing what you’re doing.

If you’re not, you deserve better—and should make changes. This series is designed to help Fresh suppliers and retailers evaluate what they’re getting for their data and insights spend—and more importantly, how to get a fair return on that investment.

Protein’s Paradox examines how protein has become one of the most powerful drivers of food and beverage growth while simultaneously creating confusion, skepticism, and strain on trust. Consumers believe in protein and actively seek it out, yet many lack confidence in how much they need, how to identify it, or which claims to trust. As protein claims expand, shoppers are increasingly turning to verification tools, exposing gaps between marketing and reality and raising the stakes for brands and retailers alike. Part I establishes that protein demand is real, but future growth will depend less on louder claims and more on clarity, credibility, and execution as the industry moves into its next phase.

Consumers are always looking for more from the bakery products that they know and love. Product developers are always looking for ways to improve the nutritional and organoleptic properties of those bakery products with ingredients that provide functional benefits and a clean label. Whether your interest is adding protein, improving texture, reducing sodium, or reducing cost, this webinar will help product developers understand how to select a dairy ingredient to meet those goals. KJ Burrington of the American Dairy Products Institute will discuss the composition and functionality of different dairy proteins and permeate ingredients and share formulation tips on how to optimize their use in bakery products.

Damarys Del Castillo, Richard Werran

While systems and audits are essential, incidents still happen when food safety is treated as a box-ticking exercise rather than a shared responsibility. This session with Richard Werran of BSI and Damarys Del Castillo of Sigma Corporativo will go beyond procedures to uncover how values, leadership, behavior, and trust shape day-to-day decisions across the business. Drawing on GFSI, IAFP and PAS 320, BSI and Sigma will look at how organizations can turn food safety from a policy into a lived commitment. We’ll explore the role of leadership, employee engagement, psychological safety, and training that builds belief, not just awareness. You’ll also learn how to measure culture, reinforce accountability, and create the conditions where people speak up, act early, and protect what matters. This is a practical, thought-provoking session for anyone ready to move beyond compliance and build a food safety culture that lasts.
