The Japan Food Safety Management Association (JFSM) holds a "JFSM Member Report Session and Participant Networking Event" twice a year to provide the latest information on JFS standards and food safety.
The first event of this year will be held on Tuesday, April 28, 2026.

　

The "Food Safety Culture, Food Fraud Prevention, and Food Defense Implementation Support Handbook" was released on February 27.

At this report session, experts will provide an explanation of the background to the handbook's creation and how written information can be translated into action on the ground.

This event is an opportunity to gain practical tips for those who want to advance food safety culture, food defense, and food fraud prevention efforts, as well as companies that want to further improve the effectiveness of their existing food safety management systems.

We will also be bringing you the latest information on the GFSI Conference to be held in March and the latest JFSM news.

A networking event is also planned for participants at the Tokyo venue after the seminar program.

We hope you will join us.
