He is a frequently quoted expert on commercial and regulatory track and trace requirements and their operational implications and implementations.
John Surak works with industry and governmental agencies in applying the principles of quality and food safety management (FSM). He leads the US delegation to Working Group 8 of ISO Technical Committee 34 that developed ISO 22000, which defines the requirements for a FSM system.

Food processors now face the need to implement a modern Food Safety Management System (FSMS). Both the pending US food safety legislation now working through Congress, and the increasing commercial requirement of Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) compliance, will place food safety and traceability management demands that will overwhelm any paper-based, non-integrated system. The cost- effective and time efficient way to meet these requirements is an integrated electronic system that automates the operational functions of food safety and quality management, traceability and compliance.
This webinar will:
Examine the requirements of the proposed food safety legislation and the GFSI and how these can be met by the integration of commercial off-the-shelf systems for food safety, quality, traceability and compliance management. Not only does this approach make your compliant FSMS more efficient and effective, it will reduce corporate risk and total cost of ownership.
What you will learn from this webinar:
- GFSI and food safety legislation are based on structured HACCP based food safety systems.
- Meeting these requirements quickly overwhelms paper based systems.
- How does one specify and implement appropriate food safety and track trace systems?
- New techniques and solutions that allow companies of any size to meet existing, new, and upcoming traceability requirements - without destroying their bottom lines.
