Federal Budgets a Cause for Food Manufacturing Increased Operating Costs and Food Safety Concerns?

It's no secret that the down economy has a wide-spread affect on the manufacturing industry.  More specifically, the food manufacturing industry faces highly variable material costs and increasing competition that is only highlighted by a slumping economy.  Now, it seems the costs of operating are positioned to increase again, according to a recent article.

The FDA is planning on implementing user fees to cover a budget increase in 2013. While this concept isn't entirely new, it will be something new for the food industry to endure. To add to the piling costs, budget cuts may also force food and beverage manufacturers to self-test or outsource testing of produce for food-bourne bacteria.  All of these factors can make a large impact on the food industry.

There is a solution to help with the financial impact of operating in this economy, positioning for the future rising costs as well as a way to help your food safety efforts.  Of course I'm talking about O2 Food ERP software by Escape Velocity Systems.  You may be thinking, why an ERP software system?
