- In a first if its kind, the call for tech-enabled “Food Traceability” takes the center stage at Davos 2019. When the world’s business leaders make this a point of focus, it’s clear that a New Era of Smarter, Safer, & more Sustainable food is upon us. https://www.weforum.org/reports/
- Report: predictive computer model points to places where Listeria more likely to exist in food processing plants. Another example of how advancements in predictive & prescriptive analytics will result in Smarter Food Safety. https://www.rdmag.com/news/2019/01/computer-program-aids-food-safety-experts-pathogen-testing#.XEtblN3mufg.twitter … #smarterfoodsafety
- A National Food Safety Strategy includes, among other things, promoting safe food behaviors in every home. A big shout-out to @Fight_BAC for all that they do to promote Consumer Food Safety Education. I’m pleased FDA is a part of it. I hope you are too. http://cfsec2019.fightbac.org
