Resolving the Problem of Unsafe Food Outbreaks
Over the years, there have been numerous fatal outbreaks such as e-coli and salmonella, which have produced a high demand for increased food safety procedures.
The Department of Agriculture is cracking down on its observation of poultry and meat suppliers, food processors and vendors. Also, the FDA is given broad authority to create and apply security regulations for imported and national products by the Food Safety Modernization Act. Including the ability to mandate.
The Global Food Security Initiative (GFSI) was established in 2000 with the reason for benchmarking current and new requirements to produce efficient food safety guidelines, which can be universally acknowledged. All standards approved within GFSI addresses the precautionary procedures such as identifying and handling threats and food dangers, trace ability through meals distribution channels, and enforcing adequate procedures of food recall when problems are found.
All of these criteria apply to meals suppliers and growers, but also to every organization that is considered a member of international food supply chain. The main goal is to immediately recall spoiled products while determining and correcting the source of any issue and to help prevent any contaminated foods from achieving customers.
Each demands and addresses different marketplaces. In BRC, SQF, The United States and FSSC 22000 are the standards that are most popular.
For our pecans, we ensure our commitment to food safety with third party certification. We have obtained the Star-K Kosher certification and the certificate of registration with Silliker – SQF Code Edition 7.2 with the comprehensive food safety and quality management systems.
