A new paper published in the March/April issue of the Food Protection Trends highlights a collaborative effort between the produce and animal protein industries to address contamination risks in agricultural production environments.  

The article, “The Sustainable Alliance for Food EcoSystems – Produce and Animal Protein Industries Working Together to Address Contamination in the Production Environment,” was co-authored by De Ann Davis, SVP of Science at Western Growers.
