Today as never before, the food industry is under scrutiny from consumers and regulatory agencies to provide safe and sanitary food. The increasing incidence of food-borne illness, the international nature of our food supply, a consumer preference for fresh foods, and inappropriate sanitation practices are among the factors adding to a new level of exposure and risk in the food industry.

Almost any food can become a source of contamination or illness and any on incident can trigger media attention and regulatory action that is both costly and damaging to a company's reputation.

Food service, supply, and processing companies must take action to assesses their risk, monitor their operations, and provide training to more diverse, rapidly changing workforce.

In response to these demands, leading companies are turning to NSF International to help them develop and implement a comprehensive food safety program.
