According to a recent article on CNN.com, there are 5 Billion Pounds of Turkey consumed in the United States each year. That averages out to about 16-18 pounds of Turkey for every man, woman, and child in the country! That is a lot of turkey – and a lot of people to consider when building HACCP plans, and general food safety regimen. Each company that processes food is, of course, required to have proper HACCP plans in place – taking special care of every critical control point along the way. This is an important example of why not only having plans and processes in place is important – but also training employees on how to properly carry them out! Whether you are a food processor, food preparer, or food server – training is always of the utmost importance. That is why Russell Associates carries a full line of HACCP manager, and employee training resources. We’re committed to helping the industries we care about, take care of the people they are serving.
