New Inspection / Detection System Helps to Reduce Food Safety Recall Risks
The massive nationwide recall of romaine lettuce in the U.S. in November, followed in mid-December by a recall of nearly 30,000 lbs of frozen ready-to-eat sausage links, once again thrust food safety into the spotlight and public discourse. While the lettuce recall was tied to the pathogen E. coli, the sausage recall was attributed to undetected pieces of metal in the product, and both incidents underscore the ongoing need for food safety interventions, including advanced inspection technologies.
