Objective of this roundtable is to engage the participants in a structured discussion on the topic of HACCP utilization in an ever-changing environment. Each speaker will be posed two central discussion points ahead of the meeting and the discussion will be moderated to foster audience participation. Speakers will discuss topics of regulated HACCP (i.e., from a CFIA and FDA perspective), changing HACCP requirements (i.e., GFSI and benchmarked schemes) and the potential weakness and conflicts between regulations and GFSI recognized schemes, in fundamentals to support both. Questions: 1) In an ever-changing industrial world, which do you think is a higher priority for ensuring the success of HACCP systems: Innovation or adherence to historical doctrine?, 2) With all of the different forms of HACCP available to food manufacturers today, what are the potential weaknesses and/or conflicts between regulations and other recognized schemes?
