Why Food Safety Matters

$
0
0
Forty-eight million people are sickened and 3,000 killed by foodborne pathogens yearly in the U.S.--one in six, per the CDC. The failure to keep food safe has had a devastating impact in the U.S., and to borrow a phrase, one that has a negative triple-bottom-line effect as it lowers consumer confidence in food manufacturing, diminishes profits and affects the food industry's reputation.

No wonder the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) was passed. For the first time, the U.S. FDA is authorized to help prevent rather than simply respond to outbreaks of foodborne illness. This enhanced inspection role and long-sought authority to order mandatory recalls was labeled "a sea change" by The New York Times.

This year, the FDA is continuing its emphasis on food safety by holding a series of public meetings and issuing proposed rules, seeking industry and public feedback along the way. In early May, the agency released draft guidance for the industry on mandatory food recalls, so now is the time for food and beverage companies to share their thoughts about proposed regulations. Soon, these documents will be finalized.

*Food Industry Standards Voluntarily Higher*
Interestingly, many of the 2011 FSMA regulatory changes lag behind the food industry's self-imposed standards, where leading companies have embraced proactive approaches to protecting consumers. Employing state-of-the-art food protection standards is not only conscientious--given the instantaneous and lingering damage product recalls can inflict on a brand's reputation--it's a smart posture to protect bottom lines.

Out of 93 FDA-documented 2014 U.S. food recalls, 63 were categorized the most serious "Class I" variety. Some 18.7 million pounds of products were involved, at a cost impossible to tally for producers and retailers, who rarely recover losses. But the price of wasted product isn't the biggest concern for food companies: It's the reputational hit that impacts their brands and the potential loss of shelf space and market share common with product recalls.

For example, the damage after a 2009 salmonella outbreak in peanut butter cost U.S. producers an estimated $1 billion, according to "Capturing Recall Costs," a report from the Grocery Manufacturers Association. Though the recalled products came from a single Georgia processing plant, a lingering 25 percent nationwide sales drop in peanut butter resulted as spooked shoppers skipped PB&Js and reached for alternatives, noted The New York Times.

*Transparency A New Force*
In addition to internal concerns about recall costs and reputation, external drivers of enhanced food protection and transparency continue to broaden--spurred by today's consumer trends. Eating local, urban farming, clean labels, ethical sourcing, natural ingredients and concerns about quality, additives and preservatives motivate consumers to seek supply chain transparency.

Given these new demands, at Tetra Pak, we know that *traceability* is a critical objective for many brands. As an early innovator in this area, we know that reliable and readily available information adds speed and precision to manufacturers' efforts to limit or keep tainted food from reaching consumers--through pinpoint accuracy to identify and locate products. Our integrated Tetra PlantMaster™ technology allows customers to collect and share *traceability* data and information easily and readily not only with government regulators but consumers.

For example, Brazilian dairy Aurora invites consumers to track milk from farm-to-shelf through an on-package code and a Tetra PlantMaster™-enabled website interface. This level of transparency answers questions about food origins and is a powerful driver for many consumers, charmed by provenance stories or committed to buying local.

*Strengthening The Triple Bottom Line*
In line with our mission at Tetra Pak to "make food safe and available everywhere," we have always taken a proactive role in industry product safety discussions. Our work on *traceability* is just one example of our approach to this critical mission. By honing our efforts to enable food safety, we are protecting and saving food from external dangers, which helps reduce contamination risks and protects the food supply for consumers.

Others companies are doing the same; GE is touting its new industry solutions addressing food safety, while IBM has partnered with Mars in the "Consortium for Sequencing the Food Supply Chain"--a project to harvest and sequence the DNA and RNA of simple food samples to determine where anomaly and mutations occur when paired with common organisms or genes, toxins and heavy metals. The resulting index produced will be a gold standard for food and health officials globally to understand what triggers contamination and the spread of disease and may ultimately limit related food waste.

Efforts by businesses are key to changing the face of food safety. It is exciting to see the industry actively developing tools to prevent future issues, as well as isolate and eliminate future failures. And all this defines a new triple bottom line in food safety: higher consumer confidence, improved profits and a stronger industry reputation. Now that is simply good business.

“Extreme Weight Loss: Love Can’t Weight” begins at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center

New TV show features obese couples preparing for their weddings with the help of transformation specialists and trainers Chris and Heidi Powell and University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center Medical Director Holly Wyatt, MD. While only two of the three couples will make it to the altar, all lose an incredible amount of weight.

Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) June 11, 2015

Season 5 of the hit ABC series "Extreme Weight Loss" offers a new twist with three special companion piece editions -- "Love Can't Weight" -- in which three obese couples get in shape, both physically and emotionally, for each of their weddings. “Extreme Weight Loss: Love Can’t Weight” premieres TUESDAY, JUNE 23 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on the ABC Television Network.

Like the cast members on “Extreme Weight Loss”, the couples will spend the first 90 days of their transformation journey attending boot camp at the renowned University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora, Colo. The center’s associate director Holly Wyatt, MD, affectionately known as “Dr. Holly” by her patients and the cast members, serves as medical director for the show and will work alongside transformation specialists and trainers Chris and Heidi Powell, helping the couples safely lose up to half their body weight, as well as the emotional baggage that often holds one back, in preparation for their weddings.

“Extreme Weight Loss” is a unique and riveting, docu-series about weight loss transformations that takes viewers on the unprecedented 365-day journeys of courageous and resilient "super obese" people. Episodes of “Extreme Weight Loss: Love Can’t Weight” will span six months. After spending the first three months in boot camp together at the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center, the couples will be unexpectedly separated for the next three months -- not able to see each other until their wedding day!

The episodes will culminate with each couple's much anticipated wedding ceremony, where they’ll see each other again for the first time in three months. In that time, two couples find the strength in themselves and each other to walk down the aisle towards wedding bliss, while another finds the strength to walk away – just six days before the wedding! Though all three couples won't make it to the altar, they will all lose an incredible amount of weight at their final weigh-ins (one couple will lose more than 300 pounds combined).

The University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center offers some of the country’s most advanced research and science-based expertise, focusing on a comprehensive wellness approach including weight loss and weight management, fitness and nutrition. The center is now home to its first destination weight loss program, Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp.

Holly Wyatt, MD, “Dr. Holly”, was inspired to start the new program after working with the “Extreme Weight Loss” and “Extreme Weight Loss: Love Can’t Weight” cast members. Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp starts with an intense six-day boot camp which is designed to give participants the tools they need to begin their own successful transformation—without the TV cameras!

“Extreme Weight Loss” is produced by 3 Ball Entertainment. JD Roth, Todd A. Nelson, Matt Assmus and Brant Pinvidic are the executive producers.
