Food Safety Certification: A Necessary Investment

Nov 24 2010 09:39 PM | ggansner in

The U.S. food industry has experienced myriad breaches in food safety resulting in food alerts and recalls over the past several years, which have injured or killed consumers and cost retailers, manufacturers and growers millions of dollars.

And there are other irreparable damages –– the decline or loss of brand image and the loss of consumer trust.
