Processors are doing more testing for pathogens in their meat and poultry products than ever before. However, they continue to question its significance in the overall realm of food safety, and are flustered by government standards that can act as a disincentive to finding microbes. Nonetheless, the incentives to verify that products are clean are there: preventing sicknesses and financial losses, to name a couple. This Webinar will address the overarching issue of where pathogen testing should be going while providing guidance to processors who want to improve their internal programs. Made possible by 3M.

More and more retailers are insisting on products with no chemical, preservative or non-natural ingredients and easy-to-understand labels for consumers.
