Food and drink industry cannot continue to tolerate food poisoning

The food and drink industry cannot continue to tolerate food poisoning outbreaks and needs to evaluate its whole supply chain in order to stamp it out.

That’s the view of Ilham Kadri, president of Sealed Air’s Diversey Division, in this exclusive video for FoodManufacture.co.uk filmed at last week’s IGD conference.

“We are looking at it [the supply chain] from farm to fork, how we deliver the food. There are huge links between the hygiene and cleaning standards inside kitchens and inside stores and the quality and safety of the food delivered in your [food and drink manufacturers’] meals.”

Employee training

Kadri added that food businesses needed to focus on employee training as well as the latest shelf-life extension technology to prevent future food safety issues.

She also revealed the changes that Sealed Air’s company strategy had been through as a result of its recent rebranding.

Meanwhile, Food Manufacture will be hosting a one-day Food Safety Conference this Thursday (17th), to be staged at the National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull.
