Michael Muzyk seems to have this food safety and global trade thing sorta worked out.

“I don’t care where it’s produced, if it doesn’t fit Baldor’s criteria for food safety, it doesn’t come in our door. We’ve even seen product refused entry into the U.S. because the wooden pallet wasn’t treated for bugs. This is a new ballgame, and one that in which you must be highly specialized.”

Last year Baldor, according to The Produce News, installed its own laboratory for food safety. As opposed to catching and releasing goods, the company is testing items in-house before they go into its processing department.

“This lab was a major expense, but one we felt was necessary,” said Mr. Muzyk. “And as with all of our food-safety initiatives, we aim to stay on the cutting edge. This process is in addition to our detector that picks up any potential threats or risks to the product that we handle.”

Baldor Specialty Foods in the Bronx, NY, sources product around the globe but seems to take food safety seriously.

Now go market it at retail so mere consumers can make the safe choice.
