You may have noticed that BEMA’s website has a new look — and we’re proud of it. But this update wasn’t just about improving what you see. It was about rebuilding what you don’t. 

As we evaluated our systems, we realized something important: even when the front end works well enough, the backend processes can quietly limit your effectiveness. That realization led us to step back, assess how we were collecting and using data, and ultimately redesign our internal systems to better serve our members. 

The experience reinforced a lesson that applies far beyond BEMA. 

BEMA, in collaboration with the American Society of Baking (ASB) and the Baking Equipment Assessment Group (BEAG), is pleased to announce the Sanitary Design Workshop, a two-day, in-depth educational program focused on practical, real-world approaches to sanitation, food safety, and sanitary design.
