BUSINESS NOTES

摘要

This past month, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced enhanced poultry safety measures that require poultry suppliers to achieve prevention-based certification by one of the Global Food Safety Initiative's recognized standards. In a statement, Wal-Mart Stores said poultry suppliers must implement "holistic controls" from farm to fork and the controls must significantly reduce potential contamination levels, including chicken parts. Suppliers must also undergo specialized testing to validate the measures implemented. All poultry suppliers to Walmart stores as well as Sam's must be in compliance by June 2016.
