Webinar on Standardizing Transportation Procedures to Control Food Safety and Quality

 

Understanding the new rules and building a sanitary transportation system is included in the FDA's FSMA hazard analysis risk-based preventive controls requirements for improved food safety during transportation processes. Failure to establish and keep required documentation exposes food transporters to heavy fines and business closures. 

If your company transports or causes food to be transported, standardizing and controlling transportation processes in order to prevent food adulteration and preserve food quality is critical. While the recent Sysco issues provide a good example of what not to do, your company must have a consistent ability to meet customer and legal food safety transportation compliance requirements. It is clear that food container tracking, sanitation, temperature and humidity control and record keeping are becoming supply chain issues requiring increased attention across all company locations.
