Food Safety Strategies

RSS

The Food Safety Summit has announced eight certificate/certification classes to be offered at the 21st annual Conference & Expo taking place May 6-9, 2019 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.

Food Safety Strategies was recently able to talk to K. Joseph Swanson, vice president of operations, West Liberty Foods, about high-pressure processing (HPP) technology, and how it has changed over the years.

Meat products have been one of the main drivers of high pressure processing (HPP) technology in the last few years, spurred on by the need for improved food safety and demand for fresh, clean, ready-to-eat (RTE) foods.

It’s difficult to imagine the substantial amount of change that has occurred on the food protection front over the last four or five decades.

Taylor Farms TX, Inc., a Dallas, Texas establishment, is recalling approximately 2,100 pounds of chicken products incorrectly labeled as “Chile Relleno” products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.

Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation, a Mt. Pleasant, Texas establishment, is recalling approximately 58,020 pounds of not-ready-to-eat (NRTE) breaded chicken products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically rubber, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

This open interactive forum will help prepare the food safety professional on the best practices to survive a high-profile crisis.
