Food Protection Trends - November/December 2022 - 434

The summarized timeline of published documents can
serve as a useful resource for public health researchers
studying the implications of the implementation of various
mitigation strategies in the food processing industry
workplace and for food processing facilities for developing
their COVID-19 management policies. During a pandemic,
food processing facilities must protect their workers'
health and safety and maintain operations to ensure an
uninterrupted food supply chain and food security. Thus,
facility management must make both engineering and policy
changes to help adjust to the situation. These changes can
have positive long-term impacts on the food processing
industry and prepare food processing facilities for similar
situations in the future.
