Cutting Short Foodborne Diseases through Technology

Foodborne diseases have assumed diabolic dimensions, and to combat this growing evil, several regulations have been drawn across the world. The Food Safety Modernization Act and the Global Food Safety Initiative have compelled the food processing industry to concentrate their focus more on managing and monitoring the process of sanitation routinely, and at this very point, technology infiltrates offering improved opportunities to control cost and food safety.
