The “Protected by Pressure” certification mark replaces the Cold Pressure Council's (CPC's) previous High-Pressure-Certified mark while retaining the requirements of itsexisting certification program.
The facility will initially produce Brevel’s clean-label chlorella ingredient, a microalga used in food and nutraceutical ingredients, with plans to expand production to other light-dependent organisms and plant-cell culture ingredients.
Crickets were raised on contaminated corn, which would otherwise be diverted from the feed supply chain, and processed into insect meal. The resulting meal contained more protein than corn and had 96 percent lower mycotoxin levels.
By combining inspection data analysis, equipment monitoring, performance verification, and automated reporting, SimulTask 6 is designed to help food processors integrate X-ray inspection information into their broader quality management operations.
The findings highlighted the importance of considering meat species, equipment type, and temporal changes in microbial communities when developing cleaning and sanitation strategies for meat processing facilities.
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), a chlorine-based chemical used to bleach tree nut shells for aesthetic purposes, can react with fatty acids in the edible kernels to form potentially harmful fatty acid chlorohydrins. Researchers called for further toxicological evaluation of these process contaminants.
The researchers concluded that no single alternative currently fulfills all of the antimicrobial and technological functions provided by conventional nitrites and nitrates. Instead, they identified hurdle technology as the most promising approach.
This article explains how two-point testing against traceable temperature standards, supported by appropriate inspection, verification, calibration, and documentation practices, can help build a more accurate and audit-defensible temperature monitoring program.
