  • Tracy's work overseeing IFT's food safety programs, which focus on several strategic topics of interest
  • Programming and discussions that will take place at the IFT FIRST conference in July, the theme of which will be "Innovation in a time of crisis: Can we future-proof the food system?"
  • Industry concerns, like facility cleanliness, with the introduction of sesame as a major food allergen, and resources for industry provided and being developed by IFT
  • IFT's commodity-specific video series to help industry comply with FDA's Food Traceability Final Rule (FSMA 204)
  • How IFT's global membership and partnerships with international organizations contribute to strengthening food science and food safety on global and regional levels.
