Understanding Water Contamination

The world’s population is said to reach 9.8 billion by 2050. This growth will create a higher demand in crops and livestock, thus increasing the importance of food safety procedures in the food and beverage industry. Therefore, not only is it crucial for farms, food processing companies, warehouses, and even groceries to understand how and where contamination occurs, but also how to detect and limit contaminants. Sources of contamination can vary greatly; from an employee’s hygiene to contaminated soil or even sick animals.
