Addressing Major Food Recalls in Your Business

2022-06-01T19:51:58+00:00

It seems like every year we have a large-scale food recall that reminds consumers and foodservice operators about the importance of food safety.

Last month, I blogged a bit about the human factor in food safety. In the foodservice management realm, I do think the human factor is our biggest challenge, day in, day out. While the human factor is a major contributor to most foodborne illness outbreaks, we can’t forget about the microbial enemy we face on a daily basis.
