Our quarterly one-page, complimentary newsbulletin devoted to an issue prevalent in the food industry

In 2024, Food Fax will delve into the emerging and fascinating field of technology and food safety. Truly, all that glitters is not AI! The first quarterly Food Fax tallies the number of food recalls throughout 2023. Subsequent Food Fax issues will estimate the costs of a food recall, both those measurable, such as financial, and those not directly measurable, such as loss of goodwill. As well, Food Fax will explore emerging advances such as food packaging which detects microbial contamination, and/or, immobilizes microbial growth.
