Heading off outbreaks

摘要

In 2021, consumers have a heightened awareness of health and food safety because of the COVTD-19 pandemic and are expecting food products to be safe and wholesome, perhaps more than ever. That's why food processors are looking for new ways to prevent and detect E. coli, while also saving on costs and supporting sustainability initiatives - all without compromising food safety. After all, consumer buying patterns shifted during the pandemic. People previously consumed more of their meals from restaurants and often sourced ingredients from farmers markets, where the produce and meat are often fresher and less processed. Now, with limitations stemming from COVID-19, more people are buying their food from grocery stores and other retail environments.
