+ Food Safety Challenges

According to a recent study, the recall process at grocery stores is one of the top challenges facing the food safety industry. RedPrairie conducted a study in which 39% of participants felt their biggest communication gap was in the recall systems at store-level. In addition, there seems to be multiple viewpoints on the safety of food produced outside the U.S.:

"...Survey respondents registered mixed opinions on the safety of food and ingredients produced outside the U.S. More than half (52 percent) said the safety of non-U.S. produced food items was excellent, very good, or good; while 39 percent said it was not good. Another 10 percent claimed they had "no visibility" into the safety of non-U.S. food items."
