According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 48 million people (1 in 6 Americans) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die each year from food-borne disease. Many believe the illnesses and deaths are largely preventable.

In response to the public health concern, on January 4, 2011, President Obama signed the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) into law. This new law requires that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) focus on preventing food-borne contamination from occurring instead of simply responding to food-borne illness after it injures consumers. This law places greater accountability on the food industry and on importers to implement world class safety programs which will protect the consuming public.

Marsh Risk Consulting (MRC) has created Platinum Plate Protocols to assist organizations, both foreign and domestic, in their efforts to comply with this new law and who want to have cutting edge process in place to meet the needs and concerns of consumers in our global economy.
