The FDA Plans Stricter Regulations. Point Six’s Wireless Sensors Will Help You Prepare\n\nNew FDA regulations are on the way in the form of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Aimed at reducing the public risk of foodborne illness, and store the new law will shift the focus in food safety regulation from responding to safety problems to preventing them. The proposed rule will require preventive monitoring and reporting processes to prevent foodborne illness. FDA inspections of facilities will ensure the required preventive controls are not only implemented, but documented.\n\nMaintaining proper temperature is a key element in the prevention of foodborne illness, and the foodservice industry has been proactive with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) development. Ensuring proper temperature control for preparation and storage of food to prevent pathogen growth that causes foodborne illness has become standard practice. But, the industry is far lagging in terms of documentation of temperature, relying heavily on pencil and paper, and the diligence of back-of-the-house staff. This leaves the consumer, and the industry itself, at risk. Documentation deficiencies are the Achilles’ heel of the foodservice industry.\n\nThe technology for monitoring and recording temperature is readily available and affordable. Point Six™ wireless temperature sensors, WiFi temperature sensors and Wireless Bluetooth Food Probes provide continuous monitoring of temperature and automated reports. The technology also provides immediate notification of temperature breeches that place customers and brands at risk. The SensEnomics subscription based service provides a wireless temperature monitoring service with no up-front capital cost.\n\nTo learn more about our wireless sensor technology and our subscription based monitoring service, visit Point Six Wireless and SensEnomics or call(404) 834-8294.
