The NACS Food Safety Forum will take place April 8, 2025, in Dallas. The event will be co-located with the NACS State of the Industry Summit.

With more labor intensive and sophisticated foodservice programs being developed and executed within our industry, food safety is essential. The Food Safety Forum is developed and administered by convenience industry food safety, foodservice, quality assurance and risk management leaders. This is the only retail-focused event of its kind for the global convenience community. Participants will become more engaged and empowered to recognize how certain behaviors can enhance and protect their teams, customers and brand.

The 2025 event will focus on:

• Preparing for the FDA’s traceability rule that will take effect in 2026.

• How to use tech and data to improve efficiency, with a case study on how Circle K stores have invested in tech-driven tools like sensors and digital temperature monitoring to streamline food safety protocols, as well as optimize labor, reduce waste, and deliver ROI that extends beyond food safety measures.

• Building consumer trust in food safety and your foodservice program.

• Insights from CEOs on shaping food culture during a conversation with two industry leaders about the importance of food safety, their brands and empowering their teams to do the right thing. This high-level discussion will offer valuable perspectives on leadership, innovation, and the future of food and food safety in convenience retail.
