Food safety has always been a priority for the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI), Arlington, Va. Over the past year, AFFI’s Food Safety Working Group has worked to advance food safety by doubling down on Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) prevention through the development of best food safety practices to provide the entire frozen food category with effective frozen food safety protocols.
AFFI’s Food Safety Working Group is comprised of over 70 food safety professionals, microbiologists and food engineers from 42 AFFI member companies. AFFI’s board of directors calls on others in the industry to collaborate and develop common best food safety practices for the frozen food and beverage industry. This action shows that food safety is a non-competitive issue and a continuous process in sharing best practices and learning from each other.
