“The way the food processing industry is developing new technology to extend shelf life while maintaining freshness and quality is mind-boggling. Twenty years ago, I could barely imagine getting cooked food out of a packet and expecting quality as good as freshly made food, much less the variety of foods now available. Responding to consumer demand, the food industry has made enormous strides to enhance ready-to-eat foods.”

“The political, environmental, and social aspects behind labeling foods containing GMO’s has been widely, and tempestuously, discussed. The certification of foods and food additives as “organic” is also related to legislation, which differs in nations around the world. Since the demand for organic products is soaring, food product manufacturers wishing to claim organic status must understand the various rules for certification.”

“Food safety is making headlines again due to the recent E. coli outbreaks associated with fresh produce. Regardless if the food is milk, cheese, meat, or fresh produce, food safety begins on the farm and follows the supply chain all the way to the consumer. All links within this supply chain—the producer, the processor, the distributor, and the restaurant—have vital roles in ensuring food safety.”
