Your Food Safety Culture is Only as Good as Your Supply Chain
The focus of Food Safety Culture is bringing food safety to the forefront of every employee under the four walls of every facility and/or farm within your organization. Many recalls and outbreaks are not due to issues within your operation but product issues from your suppliers. Your brand can be ruined by focusing 100% on your food safety practices and losing sight of your suppliers. This session will put the spotlight on practical ways to expand your food safety culture to include your suppliers.
