The current level of food safety found in U.S. meat and poultry food products is a result of process and performance regulations and management-determined actions brought about by market incentives. Processing regulations include sanitation and other tasks related to food safety; management-determined actions include capital investment and other actions independent of process regulations, but possibly driven by performance standards. Performance standards-regulations that allow manufacturers to reach an acceptable level of food safety in any manner they see fit-are not a subject of this report. This study used the share of samples testing positive for Salmonella spp. as a measure of food safety process control in meat and poultry processing plants and found empirically that management-determined actions account for about two-thirds of the reduction in samples testing positive for Salmonella spp., while process regulations account for about a third of the reduction. The importance of process regulation varies, but accounts for 50 percent or more of process control in about a quarter of plants, and in some plants accounts for the entire process control system.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bibliogov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47596621299863,"sku":"9781249317005","price":1563.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781249317005.webp?v=1774994501","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-interplay-of-regulation-and-marketing-incentives-in-providing-food-safety-9781249317005","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
