Safe Transportation of Food

With food safety concerns and the increase of last mile delivery, it has never been more important to make sure your staff is properly trained. Unsafe food handling and pathogens cause foodborne illnesses that lead to an estimated 47.8 million illnesses, 127839 hospitalizations and over 3,000 deaths annually*. Public recalls due to these pathogens and allergens can be very costly to companies. PLM Trustlink® is proud to offer a comprehensive training program for operations, drivers and warehouse workers that meet the Sanitary Transportation of Human and Animal Foods Rule (STF) and Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requirements to ensure safe food handling.
