According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), foodborne diseases send 1000 Americans each day to the hospital. An additional 5,000 Americans are killed each year from foodborne illness.
Americans shouldn’t have worry about food safety. Instead, the government must revamp its policies to ensure public safety. Twelve federal agencies oversee food safety, leading to confusion and turf fights. Additional problems can arise from a lack of funding or staffing. “loose ends”The FDA inspects less that 1% of all food shipments entering the United States ports.
Seafood safety should be a top concern for consumers. Nearly 85 percent of seafood consumed in the United States is imported from the USA. Food poisoning is also a major problem in the United States.
Global Food Technologies, a company that specializes in food safety, responded to consumer concerns and contracted a food safety program for foreign seafood processors. This included countries such as Chile, Vietnam, China, Chile, and Chile. Global Food Technologies claims its iPura seal is the best standard in food safety.
The iPura seals protect food processors from contamination at the point of production. Global Food Technologies pioneered an on-site service for food processing plants that combines safety controls and green technologies in a unique manner. “boots on the ground”Approach
“Our iPura food safety program builds in safety from the start with our patented ‘organic clean-step’ processes and our iPura food safety teams that include on-site microbiologists, system operators, technicians and quality-control personnel.”Keith Meeks, CEO of the company, said this. “We go well beyond minimum standards to a level unmatched in the industry and because of these extraordinary safety controls, iPura-labeled products are insured against regulatory intervention and product recall.”
These efforts could be well-rewarded, as stakeholders seek to protect themselves from the financial and health risks associated with imported food. The U.S. Food Policy Center of Michigan State University found that nine out 10 consumers would like more information on food safety labels. More than eight out 10 consumers would also be willing to pay more to reduce their risk.
