IDFA is expanding its member services with a new resource that includes webinars, white papers and other research materials on best practices and business intelligence that are relevant to the dairy industry. IDFA’s Knowledge Center is available to all IDFA members at no additional charge.
Three webinars will kick off the opening of the new Knowledge Center beginning with “Tax Reform and Your P&L” on July 10 at 2 p.m. Eastern time. Additional offerings on “FDA's New Guidance on FSMA Intentional Adulteration Rule” and “Blockchain: Tracking the Future” will soon follow.
“IDFA’s Knowledge Center will be our members’ go-to resource for timely and trusted content, delivered through a variety of platforms: webinars, video, research and in-depth reports,” said Tom Wojno, IDFA senior vice president of innovation and member advancement. “This initiative is truly a collaborative effort, where our dairy subject matter experts will partner with others who are experts in their respective fields, such as tax, blockchain and the many topics we will tackle in the future.”
Tax Reform and Your P&L

FDA's New Guidance on FSMA Intentional Adulteration Rule
FDA last month released draft guidance to help companies comply with its intentional adulteration rule, which requires companies to implement protections against potential attacks on the food supply. To help the dairy industry understand the guidance and FDA’s expectations for compliance, IDFA is holding a webinar July 12, 2-3 p.m. Eastern time.
“The first compliance date is just one year away,” said John Allan, IDFA vice president of regulatory affairs and international standards. “Dairy companies need information to effectively plan and allocate resources so they won’t be caught off guard.”

Blockchain: Tracking the Future
Blockchain is a tool that food companies are using to track everything from financial transactions to food production. To aid dairy foods companies in understanding the new technology and how the blockchain principles can be applied to the dairy industry, IDFA is holding a webinar on August 7, 3-4 p.m. Eastern time.
Participants will learn applications that will help to increase transparency for customers, boost efficiency and enhance food safety efforts at every level.
