- The Challenge of Bacterial Spores
-
Bacterial spore formers, such as Clostridium botulinum and Bacillus cereus and their toxins, do not get industry’s attention but that doesn’t mean these contaminants aren’t on the radar screen.
- Balancing Your Approach to Chemical Contaminants
-
The challenge for all of us is to keep up with the changing nature of chemical hazards.
- Key Goals of Emerging Technologies for Inactivating Bacteria
-
The development and use of novel thermal and non-thermal technologies to process foods is increasing worldwide; thus, special attention must be paid to identifying the key goals for these new technologies.
- Using PCR to Custom Design a Test Kit
-
The food safety industry has remained assiduous in developing methods and materials that test for the presence of bacterial contamination.
- Innovations In Technology: Promising Food Safety Technologies
-
As interest in the use of advanced thermal and nonthermal technologies to process foods increases worldwide, special attention must be paid to identifying key goals for these new tools.
- How Wendy's Prevents Foreign Material in Its Meat Supply: A Proactive Approach
-
Wendy’s first line of defense is their quality systems in place at each processing plant and a trained workforce and a system that alerts them to possible presence of foreign materials.
- Food Micro-We Need to "Bridge the Gap"
-
The fundamental objective of any food company is to produce a safe and wholesome product that meets the claims of the product’s label.
- "Allergy Consciousness" for the Retail Food Indusrty
-
Unlike foodborne infections that strike without warning, folks who have food allergies (or food intolerance) generally know of them and avoid the offending ingredients.
- Using Your Senses to Find Microbial Niches
-
While the senses of sight, touch, hearing and smell are not the only tools used to eliminate contamination, they are not used as often or as thoroughly as possible.
- Acrylamide, Furan, and the FDA
-
While it is not supposed to be there, acrylamide can form in food as a result of a heat-induced reaction between two naturally occurring ingredients, the amino acid asparagine and reducing sugars.
- ATP Systems Help Put Clean to the Test
-
There is a grave misunderstanding in our industry that the ATP monitoring system is a “bug test” when it really is a “dirt test.”
- Jack in the Box: Fostering Food Safety Through Great Partnering
-
Dave Theno’s commitment to transparency guides the industry through a horrific failure in food protection.
- The Listeria Control Game Plan: Where Are We Now?
-
The food industry understands that Listeria is constantly moving around and being reintroduced into the environment.
