North American Food Safety & Quality- NAFS

The Must-Attend event for Food Safety, Quality, and Compliance Executives

As food regulations and customer expectations continue to evolve across the United States and around the world, food and beverage companies work constantly to meet and exceed expectations. Food safety and quality issues from farm to fork are paramount for both corporate success and public well-being. Food safety, quality, and compliance challenges are not a competitive space, they are a shared responsibility. The executives responsible for food excellence know they are more effective sharing and learning with one another to improve the common good.

North American Food Safety & Quality brings together the “who’s who” of food safety, quality, and compliance executives, cutting-edge service and solution providers and media partners for North America’s premier food safety event.
