Nobody in the food industry wants a recall. Yet, despite best efforts to avoid them, nearly 100 meat and poultry companies will be required to recall products this year.
In recent years, the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has launched many new initiatives designed to combat pathogens in processed meat products.
With the numbers of monthly recalls for pathogen contamination and undeclared allergens growing, more and more food processors are buying recall insurance to cover that potential threat.
