Unfortunately, the food industry finds itself under an almost constant state of attack. Not a day goes by when we do not hear at least some type of criticism about food safety, food quality or food companies in the news. Over the last decade, it seems, there has been a continuous drone of stories relating to foodborne illness outbreaks, food fraud, food product recalls, aggressive governmental enforcement actions and harsh criminal sanctions being levied against food companies that makes people sick.
What we do not hear about or see in the media are the countless stories about the food companies and their employees who are quietly leading the charge of food safety.
