Consumers Expect and Deserve Safe Food

When contaminated food has been identified and recalled, the recall equals lost sales, along with direct and indirect costs for food manufacturers, all adding up to lost revenue and increased expenses. The results can be devastating to food brands.

One of the most significant losses during a recall is a brand's reputation with consumers. When your brand fails to deliver safe food, consumers may stop purchasing not only the recalled product, but everything falling under your brand due to associated safety concerns. Beyond the loss of revenue and consumer trust, recalls can result in extreme amounts of food waste, from the recall itself, as well as the lingering effect of consumers avoiding products after the risk has passed.1

Food Safety Expertise

At Kemin, we work diligently every day to fulfill our commitment to ensure food safety, with an experienced technical team who uses their extensive know-how to develop positive solutions.

We offer both mold inhibitors and antimicrobials to help control microbes and prevent spoilage and mold growth for a variety of matrices, helping you solve your food safety challenges. Baked goods, specifically those with a high water activity such as corn tortillas, are especially susceptible to mold. The water activity of meat and poultry products also makes them highly susceptible to microbial spoilage and foodborne pathogens.
