This webinar dives into the application of hygienic design principles for food processing equipment, offering tools and guidance to improve equipment specification and sourcing practices. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of why these principles matter, how to use design checklists effectively, and how cross-functional collaboration across engineering, QA, and procurement teams leads to safer, more sanitary outcomes. With insights into real-world challenges faced by processors and OEMs, this session also previews resources being developed to support long-term adoption—and sets the stage for a follow-up session.
