FOOD SAFETY PARTNERSHIPS
AFFI is deeply committed to seeing our food safety best practices implemented throughout the frozen food and beverage industry. To better measure implementation success across the industry we have partnered with these four companies to jointly create programs and offer technology that assists in testing, training and equipment certification.
Lm Trend Tracker
Mérieux NutriSciences’ Lm Trend Tracker helps address Listeria control in frozen food
facilities through implementation of industry-wide environmental monitoring data
collection and analysis. The testing and data analysis capabilities allow companies to
monitor the pathogen control metrics of an individual facility in isolation or relative to
an industry average. Participation is available to facilities that do testing with other labs,
provided the tests meet certain requirements. Available only to AFFI Members.
EyeSucceed
EyeSucceed, a wearable, augmented reality-based technology from NSF International,
is available for the food and beverage manufacturing industry exclusively through
AFFI. Tailored specifically to a company’s individual facility needs, this technology
can transform how the food industry applies best food safety practices, while driving
consistency of food safety training that can be lost through employee to employee
training. Available to ALL companies.
Hygienic Equipment Design
NSF’s equipment certification program for frozen food manufacturers provides a reliable,
standardized system to purchase equipment. NSF’s program adheres to AFFI’s hygienic
design best practices that are critical to pathogen control in frozen food facilities.
Program participants can also have any existing equipment in their facilities assessed to
determine if it adheres to the design recommendations. Available to ALL companies.
Food Safety Training
Alchemy’s food safety training solution delivers, reinforces, and tracks training to
build knowledge and confidence in millions of frontline workers worldwide. Alchemy
helps reduce incidents and injuries, increase productivity, and keep product safety
top-of-mind on the manufacturing floor. Working closely with AFFI, Alchemy has
developed food safety training courses specific to the frozen food industry, with
interactive content that keeps workers engaged for better retention and results,
including a unique Listeria Awareness Program designed to help plants create critical
employee awareness of important preventive measures against Listeria, which will be
available in 2019. Available to ALL companies.
PhageGuard
PhageGuard helps processor ensure the safety of foods through the use of phage technology. The natural enemy of bacteria, bacterio-phages kill pathogens including Salmonella and Listeria. They are green, smart and easy to apply on food via spraying, misting or dipping without effect on taste, color or smell. Organic and considered a processing aid by both FDA and USDA, phage can be a useful tool for your food safety toolbox.
