Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) announced a new food safety process validation service designed to offer food manufacturers a simple and transparent way to comply with USDA-FSIS requirements for HACCP validation. The rule says manufacturers must validate the adequacy of their HACCP plan in controlling food safety hazards and verify that they have been implemented correctly. UL’s process validation service will help producers meet government safeguards and will be offered at MEATXPO 2013 in Las Vegas.
