WHAT’S HAPPENING IN FOOD SAFETY slaughter surveillance. Recently, a second affected herd was identified in the same zone. The finding of the second affected herd within a 48-month period means that the zone no longer meets the requirements for accredited-free status. Bovine TB is a contagious and infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis. It affects cattle, bison, deer, elk, goats and other warm-blooded species and can be fatal. The disease can be transmitted to humans through direct contact with infected animals or consumption of raw milk. It is not transmitted through consumption of pasteurized milk. If a producer suspects TB in their herd, they should isolate the animal immediately and contact their veterinarian for a proper diagnosis. HACCP Food Safety Plans. PWI is also on plan to complete SQF Level III certification, which includes Comprehensive Food Safety and Quality Management Development, by the end of this year. “SQF certification is consistent with our organization’s commitment to produce quality products and assure customer and consumers confidence,” as stated by Mark Reynolds, PWI director of quality assurance and Greg Nemec, PWI president. PWI views SQF as the most comprehensive food safety and quality certification program available for the marketplace. The application of HACCP principles to quality practices separates SQF from prior audit schemes. PWI views SQF as a superior program that establishes a new standard of excellence. Marketplace acceptance of SQF will validate commitment to quality and eliminate redundant costs throughout the supply chain. SQF certification ensures that suppliers use science-based methods to minimize food safety risks, assure product quality and comply with the SQF Code. The SQF Code provides guidance for companies seeking to enter the global food market, addressing their needs and the needs of their clients. The SQF 2000 Code applies to food manufacturing and distribution sectors. It outlines requirements for suppliers of raw materials, ingredients, food products and processed or prepared foods, beverages or services. “By achieving SQF certification, Premium Waters, Inc. is setting the example for others to follow,” said Jim Bail of NSF International, a public health organization accredited by the American National Standards Institute to provide Safe Quality Food 1000 (producers and farmers) and 2000 (food manufacturing and distribution sectors) certifications. “I congratulate them on achieving this major milestone in the bottled water industry.” The SQF Program is administered by the SQF Institute (SQFI), a division of the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), and is the culmination of more than 15 years of development. To date, more than 10,000 certificates have been issued to companies operating in Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East and North and South America. The SQF certification program is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), part of a landmark agreement among global food retailers and food manufacturers on mutual acceptance of international food safety and quality systems. Premium Waters Receives SQF 2000 Certification SF International has announced that Premium Waters, Inc. (PWI) is among the first bottled water companies to receive Safe Quality Food (SQF) Code 2000 certification. SQF certification highlights PWI’s commitment to produce safe, quality products. The following PWI plants have received SQF certification: Kansas City, Kansas; Fort Worth, Texas; Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin; Quincy, Illinois; Greeneville, Tennessee; and Douglas, Georgia. In order to receive SQF certification, each of these plants were audited by NSF to reassure customers that the product has been produced, processed, prepared and handled according to internationally-recognized standards. PWI just completed SQF Level II certification, which includes N Christine Aleski Joins Matrix MicroScience as Vice President of Sales atrix MicroScience Inc., has announced that Christine Aleski has joined the company as vice president of sales.
