There has been much anticipation about the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) regulations unfolding since January 2011, and we will likely be waiting until after the presidential election before key rules are revealed and the industry has an opportunity to review and comment on these elements.
Since its inception in 1919, the American Institute of Baking (AIB) International has been a world leader in baking and food education. Through the years, educational processes have changed and evolved, not only in terms of content, but in the fundamental ways that students learn.
With 2012 barely underway, the American Institute of Baking (AIB) International is bracing for the loss of an iconic leader. At the same time, we are embracing the impact of new regulations and other ongoing changes in the global food industry.
