Food Traceability and Recall

How can you manage risks related to foodborne pathogens?

The detection, control and elimination of E. Coli and other foodborne pathogens, such as Salmonella and Listeria, is a major focus of your food safety programs. Infection with any one of these can have devastating long-term effects, including death.

That’s why tracing any raw material, product unit or batch – that is incorporated into a food or feed chain – through every stage of production, processing and distribution is vital.
