Modern Food Safety for a Safer, Stronger Plant: Biofilms, GMPs, Standards & More

Food safety never stands still — and neither can the training that protects your people, your products, and your brand. That’s why WorkForge has released a significant update to several of our core Food Safety modules, along with an entirely new topic designed to help teams understand one of the most persistent risks in modern food manufacturing: biofilms. 

This release strengthens regulatory alignment, improves clarity for frontline learners, and expands the tools available to food manufacturers working to build safer, more resilient operations. Developed with Subject Matter Expert Erik Kurdelak, the full set of modules is now available in English, Spanish, Burmese, and Karen, ensuring teams can learn in the language they understand best. 

What’s New in This Release 

New Content 

We’ve added six brand-new modules, including: 

• Five new modules on Biofilms — covering what they are, why they matter, how they grow, and the sanitation strategies required to prevent them. 

• One new interactive module within Food Contamination Prevention to deepen learner engagement around identifying and preventing contamination risks.
   

Updated Content 

We also refreshed 27 existing modules across six critical food safety topics: 

• Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) 
• Food Contamination Prevention 
• Food Facility Defense 
• Food Safety Culture 
• Food Safety Standards 
• Traceability 

These updates enhance clarity, reinforce regulatory expectations, and give frontline workers more actionable, real-world guidance. 

Why This Training Matters Right Now 

Food manufacturing environments evolve quickly — new risks, stricter requirements, less oversight, leaner teams, and high variability across shifts and languages. Robust training isn’t optional; it’s the foundation of safe operations. 

This release equips learners with the practical, applicable knowledge they need to: 

• Prevent contamination through stronger GMP behaviors, improved hygiene practices, and role-specific precautions. 

• Recognize intentional adulteration risks and understand the layers of facility defense. 

• Build stronger food safety cultures by connecting individual actions to organizational outcomes. 

• Stay aligned with regulatory and certification standards across GMP, HACCP, and food safety audit frameworks. 

• Support traceability and recall readiness with clearer guidance on system requirements and the FDA Food Traceability Rule. 

• Identify, remove, and prevent biofilms — a high-risk and often misunderstood threat to food safety and equipment integrity. 

Together, these modules support safer practices, reduce the likelihood of foodborne illness, and help organizations protect both consumers and their brand reputation. 

Built for Real-World Application 

Every module in this release is designed with the frontline learner in mind: short, clear, visual, and actionable. And because all courses are available in multiple languages, teams can learn confidently — not guess their way through compliance.  Today’s learner requires modern training and that is exactly what these deliver.   

For QA leaders, trainers, and plant managers, these updates offer more than check the box compliance.  They offer: 

• Stronger alignment with evolving regulations 
• Increased audit readiness 
• Greater consistency across shifts 
• Better retention and on-the-floor application 

This is training built to support both compliance and competency — because food safety depends on both.
