Design to Clean: Creating a Hygiene Focused Culture
Darin Zehr, Commercial Food Sanitation. LLC
Creating a hygiene-focused culture entails far more than establishing written procedures across every dimension of the organization. A culture of hygiene excellence means there is alignment of common values between all levels of executive management, middle management and team leaders when it comes to food safety and hygiene. Having a strong hygiene culture is very important and a focus on design is a critical enabler.

Benjamin Warren, Senior Science Advisor for Food Safety, FDA

More recently, FDA has announced the New Era of Smarter Food Safety blueprint that outlines a 10-yr roadmap for creating a more digital, traceable, and safer food system.
