Biological Hazards in the Pork Chain Continuum: Risk Mitigation Strategy

Risk Mitigation in Supply Chain

Firms face significant risk when they adopt digital supply chain systems to transact and coordinate with their partners. Drawn upon modular systems theory, this study proposes that system modularity mitigates the risk of adopting digital supply chain systems and therefore motivates firms to digitize more of their supply chain operations. The study theorizes how the risk-mitigating effect of sys...

Food-Safety Hazards in the Pork Chain in Nagaland, North East India: Implications for Human Health

Pork occupies an important place in the diet of the population of Nagaland, one of the North East Indian states. We carried out a pilot study along the pork meat production chain, from live animal to end consumer. The goal was to obtain information about the presence of selected food borne hazards in pork in order to assess the risk deriving from these hazards to the health of the local consume...

Potential animal health hazards of pork and pork products.

The animal health hazards associated with the importation of pork and pork products include four viral agents: foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever (hog cholera), African swine fever, and swine vesicular disease viruses. The safety of importing pork from a zone infected with one or more of these diseases can be adequately determined only through risk assessment. This also applies for t...

Plastic Bags: Hazards and Mitigation

Salmonella in the Pork Production Chain

Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of the pork production system, with emphasis on Salmonella. It shows potential inputs (sources) of Salmonella into the various processes of the system. Also shown are outputs from each of the processes. Note that outputs from one process, or set of processes, serve as inputs to the next process. This figure suggests that the output of Salmonella positiv...
