09.15 AI In Food Safety: Real Applications, Honest Limitations & How To Implement Without Losing Human Oversight Or Accountability
- From visual inspection cameras on production lines to AI-driven complaint analysis and early warning systems – cut through the hype with case studies showing what is genuinely working in food safety operations right now
- Understand where AI delivers the most value: predictive risk detection, supplier performance monitoring, manufacturing plant analytics and consumer feedback integration – and where the technology still falls short
- Confront the industry’s biggest AI blind spot: when teams stop feeling accountable because a system is doing the checking, what happens when something goes wrong – and how do you build oversight into your adoption strategy from day one?

✦ NEW 2026
09.40 From Data Chaos To Predictive Quality: Building The Digital Infrastructure That Makes AI Actually Work In Your Organisation
- You cannot apply AI on top of paper: understand the critical journey from reactive quality management to preventive to predictive – and the data foundations your business must have in place before AI can deliver meaningful results
- Automate data collection from machines, integrate testing data across factory, supplier and consumer systems, and break down the silos that prevent your organisation from seeing the full picture
- Hear how leading businesses are using integrated data ecosystems to predict likely quality outcomes before problems occur – and what that means for the future of food safety management
Session | Digitalising Traceability
10.05 Digitalising Traceability: Moving Beyond Paper, Silos & Spreadsheets To Achieve Real End-To-End Supply Chain Visibility
- Despite two decades of digitisation across almost every other business function, paper-based traceability remains shockingly common across the food industry – hear from those who have made the leap and what it actually took to get there
- Understand what genuine end-to-end traceability looks like: from raw material origin and field-level controls through to finished product release, batch reference accuracy and rapid recall response capability
- Explore the role of integrated digital traceability as the essential foundation for AI adoption, food fraud detection and supply chain resilience – and why businesses that delay are compounding every other risk on today’s agenda
