Farm to fork tracking

This release talks about new farm to fork traceback software from eProduce. The release said Carzalia Valley Produce and Griffin Holder Company contributed to the architectural design of this version eProduce, which was three years in development. Let's hope these traceback solutions can reduce the need for FDA blanket recalls and warnings that sock it to the entire industry.

Don Dressler, a familiar face and name from his days with Western Growers, was featured in this article about deal with workers' compensation/injury issues.
From the piece.

Almost 1.3 million injured employees missed some work and 5,700 died because of work-related injuries or illnesses in 2005. An injured employee who returns the next day costs a company, on average, $700. If that employee loses some work days, the average claim rises to$8,000. If he is permanently disabled, the average is $43,000.


Dressler appears to have a valuable business niche in helping employers buy an ounce of prevention, which is always better than the alternative.
