Calculate the Cost of a Foodborne Illness Outbreak

The outcome of any bacterial outbreak is serious and results in both loss of reputation and revenue. Safe food handling practices through proper date coding is not just about following the law; rather, it is about protecting your customers health and your business all at the same time. Our mission is to provide the most comprehensive date coding solution to reduce errors and therefore protect customers and your business’s reputation like no other. In addition to providing automation that is easily updated we also provide training. It is the combination of an automated solution along with proper training that will protect your operation best from a bacteria outbreak.

To calculate the cost of a foodborne illness outbreak, enter your number of stores below:

     
Enter Number of stores:    
   
*Cost:   (Destroying food, decrease in sales)
     

 

These cost estimates are conservative. Harmed consumers that prove illness from a specific pathogen are more likely to receive compensation – and can sue for $millions. Even when a store is not charged, it will often experience loss of business and respect, along with increased insurance premiums. Losses can mount in all of these areas: legal fees, medical claims, insurance, food that needs to be destroyed, negative publicity and subsequent loss of business during days your store is closed.

The bottom line - the price of our automated solution pales in comparison to the costs associated with a bacterial outbreak.

The FreshMarx 9415 automated date coding solution offers more than accurate date coding, it also provides other quantifiable savings in both reducing labor cost and food waste.
