The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that each year, 1 in 8 or 4 million Canadians are sickened by foodborne illnesses (12.5% of Canada’s overall population), with approximately 11 500 hospitalizations, and 240 deaths. The economic burden of foodborne illness outbreaks on any food company/brand can be quite devastating; this is due to lawsuits, fines, legal fees, investigations, retraining costs, and lost revenues. Companies within the food industry all process, use, and sell food in diverse ways; however, food safety compliance issues remain the same throughout. Examples of these common denominators include but are not limited to, unsafe food holding, improper cooking / reheating temperatures, unsafe food handling, improper sanitation, and lack of trained employees. An increasing number of companies around the globe today are investing in technology advancements to bridge the gap with most, if not all, aforementioned challenges in the food industry. Investments in technology can be quite costly at first, but the Return on Investment (ROI) will eventually outweigh its cost for all the advantages it brings to the table.
