Global Food Technologies Creates Solution to Improve Food Safety Amidst Limited Government Resources
(firmenpresse) - HANFORD, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/25/12 -- As imports into the United States rise, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is struggling to maintain food safety regulations in light of limited resources. Global Food Technologies provides their on-site food safety operations that can improve the quality and health of seafood imports while taking some of the strain off of the FDA.
Bloomberg that United States imports are on the rise, making it difficult for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure the quality and safety of all of the food that is brought into the country. Bloomberg asserts that 85 percent of the seafood purchased by American residents is imported -- a staggering amount that the FDA simply cannot inspect in its entirety. Global Food Technologies, a life sciences company specializing in food safety, offers proprietary processing systems and operational services to its supply partners in an effort to ensure the safety and quality of seafood from "farm to fork." As such, the organization has the potential to improve the seafood imported into the United States and alleviate a portion of the strain under which the FDA has found itself.
According to the aforementioned article, the FDA had a study conducted by the Institute of Medicine in an effort to "examine gaps in the regulatory systems of developing countries and come up with a strategy for the agency to improve safety." Because the solutions offered by addresses the regulatory mandates faced by individual processing operations, it has the ability to see that FDA guidelines are met and exceeded on location, regardless of country of origin.
Currently, the FDA's resources are quite limited in light of the volume of imports passing onto U.S. soil. Bloomberg reports that the study cites that the organization is responsible for "300 different ports of entry from over 300,000 factories in 150 different countries." The FDA has admitted that its product safety processes are in need of updating, as the organization cannot keep up with the demand for its services.
Global Food Technologies has released a press statement regarding this article: "At Global Food Technologies, our primary mission is to improve the health and quality of life of individuals around the world through the reduction of foodborne illness, which is why our safety division, iPura, is focused overseas -- at the site of production. iPura teams execute a comprehensive daily regimen integrating patented organic technologies and science-based controls to combat contaminants and provide daily on site validation of the safety of iPura labeled products, to protect families and earn the trust of consumers."
applauds the FDA for frankly addressing these concerns and looks forward to continuing to provide its clients with solutions to provide high quality, safe seafood.
