Abstract

Through the efforts of everyone associated with it, the American food supply has become the best, safest, and cleanest in the world. The public has come to expect such high standards. It thus becomes the everyday responsibility of people in many diverse industries to see that our food is produced, processed, and packed under clean conditions and that it is kept that way throughout the distribution chain. The public health ramifications of handling shipments of food and related products demand that each and every employee accept these as very special categories of commodities and learn to handle them as such.
