Zurich Risk Engineers Provide Information about How Food Service Operations and Restaurants/Food Resellers Can Access Data They Need in Times of a Food-Related Illness Industry Crisis Like the Current Salmonella Outbreak
SCHAUMBURG, Ill.-(Business Wire)-June 18, 2008 - As the U.S. agricultural and food service industries deal with the latest contamination outbreak of salmonella in certain types of tomatoes, it is crucial for these businesses to access information that can help mitigate risks in their operations.
Based on its risk engineering knowledge, Zurich suggests those seeking such information consult the following sources to help stay up-to-speed on the latest developments:
— Centers for Disease Control and Prevention page for investigating the ongoing multistate outbreak of human salmonella serotype Saintpaul infections at http://www.cdc.gov/Salmonella/saintpaul/
— U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) updates for the salmonella outbreak in certain types of tomatoes at http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/tomatoes.html
— Western Growers Association at http://www.wga.com/
Additionally, resellers, consumers and growers can stay current with the latest news from the FDA Newsroom at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/news/
Zurich also suggests that companies looking to mitigate supply chain risks should rely on their insurance providers for insight and consultation. Insurance companies and distributors with industry-specific knowledge can help food resellers identify and minimize the chances of being subject to these types of recalls that can result in brand damage.
