In the fine chocolate industry, your brand's reputation relies on quality, flavor, and uncompromised food safety. A single safety issue or facility contamination event can disrupt production, damage retail relationships, and compromise customer trust.

Whether you operate a boutique bean-to-bar kitchen or manage a growing manufacturing facility, having a structured food safety system is essential.

Join food safety experts Lisa Petro and Joshua Frank from CD Food Consulting Services for an actionable, industry-focused webinar: Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP): Plan Ahead to Address Food Safety Problems. You will gain a clear roadmap to identify, prevent, and manage food safety risks across your entire operation.

What You Will Learn

This session simplifies complex regulatory requirements into practical steps tailored for chocolate makers, chocolatiers, and supply chain partners.

  • HACCP Fundamentals & The 12 Steps: Understand the core principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points and walk through the 12 essential steps to build a customized, compliant food safety plan.
  • Environmental Monitoring Programs (EMP): Master best practices for testing post-tempering facility surfaces to detect and prevent pathogens where exposed chocolate is most vulnerable.
  • Supplier Verification Programs: Learn how to vet and verify cacao brokers, ingredient suppliers, and packaging vendors to ensure strict safety standards long before materials arrive at your door.
