📣 📣 📣 See below for what I was talking about this week! CT State Community Colleges are a great resource for workforce development and continuing ed. Small- to mid-sized manufacturing companies can even benefit from grants to support sending workers while off-setting a reduction in time/revenue costs. This is not an expense, but an investment in your growth! #CT #manufacturing #workforcedevelopment #growth #growthmindset

-- Broken Food Recall Processes within the United States -- In January 2024 alone, the FDA issued a staggering 46 food and beverage recalls, marking a concerning 31% increase from the previous year. From kielbasa to frozen dumplings, recent recalls have raised alarms about food safety and the effectiveness of the recall processes. What's causing these recalls? Listeria, Salmonella, and even foreign objects like lead, glass, plastic shards, etc. have contaminated various products. Labeling errors, including mislabeling of allergens, are exacerbating the issue. But here's the kicker ---> current recall processes in the US are falling short. Individual companies are operating in isolation, leading to delays and confusion during recalls. There is also a lack of standardization in data and processes, hindering swift action. The solution discussed in this article is a paradigm shift towards "Recall Ready Communities." Some companies are trying to unite supply chains and standardize data which will help to enhance collaboration and response efficiency, but most are still a ways off. It amazes me that as advanced as we are in the US in so many ways that we are so far behind when it comes to food safety. It's time for the industry to modernize its approach to recalls to help solve a fixable problem. #foodsafety #supplychain #foodindustry #foodsafetyculture https://lnkd.in/eRtH-_3K
