  • Methods and systems for increasing protein food safety
    Patent number: 8012001
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for increasing protein food safety are provided. According to one embodiment, a method in a computer system for increasing protein food safety includes steps: (a) receiving contamination level data; (b) accessing from a database stored data comprising prior contamination level data, prior interventions associated with the prior contamination level data, and prior actual results associated with the prior contamination level data; (c) selecting a subset of the prior contamination level data, the prior interventions, and the prior actual results, where the prior contamination level data is similar to the contamination level data; (d) determining if an effective intervention is set forth in the subset based at least partially on the prior actual results in the subset; and (e) if an effective intervention is not set forth in the subset, causing an intervention to be output that is increased relative to the intervention in the subset.
