10:15am - Employee Retention Roundtable Discussion with Industry Professionals

MSMA has coordinated a panel of human resource experts to discuss Employee Retention Strategies, facilitated by MSMA's own Joe Mass of J.T.M. Food Group. Our excellent panel from within the meat industry, will be ready to discuss with you the current trends and topics pertaining to finding and keeping great employees! Come prepared to share in the discussion.

11:15am - Listeria Prevention Melissa Newman, Director of Undergraduate Studies Food Science, University of Kentucky

Listeria control starts with sanitation! Recent work at the University of Kentucky illustrates how the environment outside of product contact surfaces can adversely affect your product quality and safety. Employees responsible for cleaning and sanitation must have a good understanding of what it means to clean.

We’ll hear from published Associate Professor at the University of Kentucky as well as Director of the Food Systems Innovation Center about this topic and measures to prevent it from your food stores systems.

Companies Represented on Our Panel will Include:Bob Evans Farms • JTM Food Group • 1 or 2 Additional MSMA Members
