Great expectations

摘要

Costco's addendums include items not covered in most food safety audits. Mega retailer Costco Wholesale has high expectations when it comes to food safety and requires more from its suppliers than most, says Milinda Dwyer, Costco food safety representative. Dwyer, based in the company's headquarters in Issaquah, Washington, shared the details of Costco's food safety program with a room full of Washington tree fruit industry members during a food safety seminar at statewide tree fruit talks in December. She answered questions and throughout her talk expressed a willingness to find common ground to issues, especially those stemming from Costco's infamous "addendums."
