It is recommended that Earth Friendly Foods maintain proper records and ensure their accessibility as a measure of preventing the contamination for instance from Salmonella Enterica. Compliance to this record keeping measure should be ensured by frequent monitoring and auditing of the records and their accessibility should be guaranteed by the requirement of the managers to submit frequent and regular summaries of the reports to the CEO of Earth Friendly Foods (Espinoza). The records will be useful during the inspection to ensure manufacturing quality and safety. This will be used in evaluating the compliance with the requirements of the quality assurance program and establishing the problem in the Earth Friendly Foods safety program in case a test of the contamination is positive. The record keeping should include the contamination prevention plan for instance Salmonella Enterica prevention plan and the documentation of the effective implementation of the plan. The prevention plan adopted by Earth Friendly Foods will set forth the implementation plan for regulation's testing, diversion measuring and preventing. Earth Friendly Foods will need to implements prevention measures which are specific and well described in the prevention plan of the records. This will assist in the compliance of the prevention measures assessments. Preventive measures implementation over time can be determined by the management through the review of the record implementation (FDA 18).
The limitation of this recommendation is the leakage of the sensitive records to the competitors especially if the investigators are external or third party. This will grant the competitors of Earth Friendly Foods competitive intelligence. For instance if an outbreak develops in Earth Friendly Foods plants and the information leaks out fast than the company could put in place a public relation strategy, then the company will risk losing consumer trust.
EVALUATION
From the first recommendation, the employee will be expected to exhibit proper knowledge of the personal hygiene and ways...
The employee will also be expected to understand the consequence of poor sanitation and its effect on the health of others. The observable behavior of the employee will include proper outer garment sanitation and the thorough washing of hands. Other observable behavior changes include use of head restraints and gloves properly. The changes in this behavior can be ascertained by measuring the frequency of wearing of clean clothes daily and the washing of hands. The frequent change of the gloves can also be used to measure the efficiency of this recommendation.
The expected behavior change from the second recommendation is the maintaining of proper records and making them accessible to the relevant parties. The executives will be expected to submit the proper summaries of the records to the CEO so as they can be evaluated and acted by the investigators whenever they are needed (Jackson 1229). The changes in behavior can be measured by monitoring the frequency at which the executives submits the records. The quality of the records can also be used to monitor by assessing their comprehensiveness and succinctness.

Therefore, corporations have had to change their viewpoints and start looking at the long-term consequences of their behavior, as well as looking at the bottom line. Businesses also have to be concerned because consumers have also become aware of environmental concerns, and many consumers are demanding earth-friendly products and have shown a willingness to pay more money to competitors who observe environmentally-friendly practices. Interestingly enough, this demand has given rise
Ethical Responsibility of Corporate America Many organizations strive to increase their profit margins by doing everything possible (including unethical practices) to increase their revenues. Nevertheless, the past three decades have seen some organizations embracing CSR (Corporate Social responsibility). This idea has become significantly important to almost every organization that seeks to increase revenues. Corporate social responsibility is also referred to as community responsibility, stewardship, corporate sustainability, corporate responsibility, accountability and corporate
True, the company has a highly cohesive ethic, regarding the environmentally friendly and ethically produced nature of its products. However, one problem that a supermarket chain will inevitably run across is that different areas of the nation have different tastes. This is why allowing self-governance is so important on a store-by-store basis for this chain. A Whole Foods in New York City might have more convenience vegan food, for
143). Moreover, the global neglect of women (in terms of science) is reflected in the fact that women have been excluded as experimental subjects in drug research, Rosser continues. Certainly pregnant women have been excluded from experiments with pesticides and radioactive materials, but beyond that Rosser explains that "…these drugs and materials are then used without ever having been tested on women" (1991, p. 143). And yet notwithstanding their exclusion
The genetic developments and modifications are also major cause of increased requirements for pesticides. The crops are grown in off seasons and as a result they require additional support to achieve high production volumes. Solutions: The solutions for the issue related to awareness can be attained through multiple sources. The geological awareness should be focused on the land ethics principles. Several solutions are available to increase awareness among the users of
