Foreign Objects in Food: Safer Corn Dogs & Snacks
Breaded, battered, or “on-a-stick” foods are kid-friendly and convenient—but they’re also produced at high speed with many moving parts (mixers, conveyors, skewers, breaders). When something goes wrong upstream, foreign objects in food (like wood, plastic, or metal fragments) can end up embedded in the batter where they’re hard to see. That’s why this category benefits […]

RTE Meal Safety: Preventing Listeria in Ready To Eat Meals
Ready-to-eat entrées make weeknights easier, but they also combine many ingredients from different suppliers—vegetables, sauces, grains, and proteins—assembled in chilled facilities and shipped through long cold chains.

RTE Salads & Listeria: Why “Cold” Doesn’t Always Mean “Safe”
Ready-to-eat (RTE) salads like ham, chicken, or tuna salad are convenient, but they’re also complex foods with many ingredients and handling steps.

Because these products are eaten without reheating, any contamination that slips through […]

Frozen filled pastas—tortellini, ravioli, and similar “pillow” pastas—can look nearly identical once they’re in a bag or on a plate.
