SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Analyzing fact based preventive approach to address foreign material contamination in the food industry is a necessary analysis, focused on using statistical evaluations to analyze the disturbing trend of foreign material food recall in the meat and poultry industry today. Even though recalls due to microbiological contaminations and allergens seem to get more media attention, foreign material meat and poultry food contaminations are also on the rise and the market is starting to show disturbing trends of increasing volumes of products that are recalled due to potential adulteration.
