Dr. Chapman is also the co-chair of the "STOP Foodborne Illness" board of directors and co-hosts two podcasts, "Food Safety Talk" and "Risky or Not."
The conference will address various topics such as the science of pasteurization, foodborne illness outbreaks, food safety management systems, cannabis and food safety, creating a food safety culture, and the recalls and implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 204.
