OUR TEAM
THE SAFER TOGETHER PROJECT Best Practice COVID-19 Preventive Measures for Food Producers (evolving!)
March 26, 2020
It is our goal for this information to help other food producers in their own best practices in the fight against COVID-19. We encourage them to share their own preventive measures so we can all get stronger and safer as an industry.
The biggest thank you goes to all of our Team Members who are the backbone of implementing these activities (and more!) to keep everyone safe.
