Processors of meat, poultry and seafood need to go beyond the usual sustainability efforts to integrate environmental, social and governance strategies into corporate policy.

“2020 was the year that no one saw coming,” said Jonathan Amidei, chief operating officer of Swaggerty Sausage Co. Inc.

I think it’s safe to say that 2020 did not turn out the way many small processors had planned, both personally and professionally.

Process control is used extensively by the large meat companies to optimize processing, by maintaining process variables within a desired range.

It doesn’t really matter which part of your business you work in — there will be a system for addressing the key things that need to be done.
