After more spending than 48 years as an environmental microbiologist and food safety advocate, I have come to the sad realization that many practitioners associated with the food industry have not adopted the basic tenets of a food safety strategy: Prevention, Intervention, Protection, and Education, Food recalls are issued almost daily. Every foodborne incident and every food recall represents a failure of our food safety strategy.
We talk a lot about the “Farm to Fork” strategy and “Food Safety Culture”, but yet despite the best efforts of regulatory agencies globally to promote food safety regulations, contaminated food continues to enter the marketplace and cause foodborne incidents, outbreaks and epidemics. This webinar will discuss why should not be satisfied in our ability to find the cause of an incident or outbreak or the source contamination, after the fact. An overview of the Food Safety Management Act and the Safe Foods for Canadians Act as they relate to regulations pertaining to prevention will be included in the discussion.
