On November 10, 2022, U.S. President Joe Biden signed the National Security Memorandum-16 (NSM-16), which aims to strengthen the security and resilience of the U.S. food supply and agricultural systems. NSM-16 focuses on threats such as climate change, supply chain disruption, cyberattacks, worker safety and workplace development, and other topics.

More than a year after the start of the coronavirus pandemic forever changed our way of life and further strained our food system, we face greater challenges as a result of new vulnerabilities that have arisen.

The food safety industry is always changing, and it’s important to make sure that employees are up-to-date on the latest training, as well as any new industry certifications.

Intertek Alchemy, a provider of training and engagement solutions for frontline workers, is pleased to announce the launch of Alchemy Playbook, a mobile application that reduces unplanned downtime and increases production for manufacturers.
