  • Food product contamination event management system and method
    Publication number: 20120253883
    Abstract: An event management system has a first input node, a second input node, and a food event management system. The first input node is adapted to receive epidemiological information. The second input node is adapted to receive food distribution path information. The food event management system is coupled to the first input node and to the second input node. The food event management system is adapted to compare the epidemiological information and the food distribution path information to identify one or more possible correlations and to generate an event output related to the one or more possible correlations.
    Type: Application

  • System and method for identifying a food event, tracking the food product, and assessing risks and costs associated with intervention
    Patent number: 7412461
    Abstract: The food safety system and method of the present invention provides a comprehensive consumer risk distribution model, which can be applied to any food item. Additionally, the present invention automatically evaluates consumer risk based on how much contaminated food is at each stage of the food distribution process according to the consumer risk distribution model, allowing for quick and accurate determinations as to the efficacy of a trace recall effort. A further element of the present invention provides expert analysis of data to detect and identify food events from sporadic information. Finally, the real time detection system provides early warning data in order to intercept isolated food contamination events before the contaminated food products reach the consuming public.
