by providing a low cost one day forum that will provide updates on hot topics facing food processors including GFSI certification changes for 2012, Listeria and mold control and CIP system technology,” said Jim Fifield, Senior VP at Rochester Midland.

Whether a food plant is concerned with contamination from E. coli 0157:H7, Campylobacter or Listeria monocytogenes, RMC works as a partner to identify deficiencies in the process, and provide solutions and follow-up training to prevent a recall. In-plant seminars on food manufacturing plant sanitation, employee hygiene practices, process control practices, and other GMP related topics are part of prevention and continuous improvement in BrandGuard, RMC’s signature food safety program.
