Do engaged, informed, and empowered sanitation teams act as a predictor of success for an integrated pest management (IPM) program? With excellent food safety risk management behaviors, a frontline sanitation team can help manage existing risks and identify new ones, dramatically reducing the potential of product contamination due to pest activity in a facility. This article describes an action plan to help achieve these goals.
The fall and winter seasons bring new challenges for food processing facilities and the teams that work to maintain them. One of the most notable challenges they face is increased pressure from rodents that seek out food and shelter within these facilities when outside temperatures fall.

In this bonus episode of Food Safety Matters, Dr. Alissa Welsher, Associate Senior Consultant at Elanco Poultry Food Safety, discusses why integrated pest management (IPM) is a crucial part of food safety management on farms and in food processing plants, as well as how poultry operations can develop an IPM program and minimize the spread of pathogens and disease from pests.
