TAG’s Executive Vice President of Food Safety & Public Health, Dr. Rolando Gonzalez, will be presenting at the 2023 3-A SSI Education Event on May 10, 2023. Dr. Gonzalez will be presenting Hygienic by Design: Reducing Risk in Your Facility. Hygienic by design means designing or modifying facilities, equipment, and systems to minimize the risk of contamination in all phases of food production. It involves considering hygiene and sanitation at every stage of facility design, construction, and operation. This includes selecting materials, equipment, and surfaces that are easy to clean and maintain, creating layouts that minimize cross-contamination, and implementing effective cleaning and disinfection procedures. The goal is to create a hygienic environment that supports food safety and reduces the risk of foodborne illness.
