Package Failures-Root Causes and Their Implications for Public Food Safety
June 15, 2011
The role of a package is to protect product content from undesirable environmental factors surrounding it. In the field of food safety, protection is the most important function of a package. The purpose of this webinar is to outline specific types of package failures with the intent of providing a learning medium through which package failures can be better understood to better safeguard the public's well-being. Minimizing the risk of such failures is only possible by a proper analysis of how past failures occurred and what policies can help prevent them from happening again.
