Aquaponics, a sustainable food production system that combines traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment.

This study evaluated steam-heat processing of food within a covered Cambro pan containing water with energy generated via microwaves.  

It is generally understood and accepted by food safety scientists that it is impossible to achieve food safety by testing or inspecting finished products.

All instruments used for ensuring quality, safety, sanitation and legal compliance must be calibrated.

A FSMS is only as strong as its weakest link. It is critical that both corporate headquarters and all of a company’s processing plants have a strong verification program.

Today, different types of validation need to be done on the manufacturing equipment that is used to produce the product.

Microbial growth niches occur when moisture, nutrition, time and growth-conducive temperatures occur in a non-sterile environment.

The food industry has implemented a number of approaches to food safety inspection through the years, including finished product testing, and GMP and HACCP verification audits.

Refrigerated, perishable products offer a unique level of complexity since there is no singular technology to assure product safety for the broad spectrum of products that exist.
