Food Manufacturing Safety Viewed Differently by Food Manufacturers and Consumers

It seems as though a week doesn't pass by without another story in the news regarding food safety concerns in the U.S.  Whether it's a debate of future regulations, another food manufacturing recall or simply an article discussing the topic, it's everywhere.

This week is no different.  According to the recent article, there appears to be a large disconnect between how food manufacturers and consumers view the issue of food safety.  This doesn't surprise me.  While the majority of the food we eat is completely safe, the "bad apples" continuously make headlines.  For this reason, it seems completely understandable that consumers feel that food safety hasn't made improvements over the years.

The article also mentioned that in a recent study, "80 percent of manufacturers felt it is their responsibility to ensure and communicate product safety information to consumers." Thankfully, this statement demonstrates that the food manufacturing industry is willing to hold responsibility and have food safety be a large part of their operations.

There are a number of ways that food and beverage manufacturers can assist in food safety measures, and having the appropriate food software, such as O2 Food ERP software, in place is a huge benefit.  This food and beverage manufacturing ERP software is designed specifically for the industry and understands the key  components involved. Food ERP software is a great way for food manufacturers to track lots, manage formula security and it provides one-click lot recall.
