Kansas State University Conducting Survey on Food Defense

KDU is asking for employees of meat and poultry processing establishments who are involved with, or responsible for, food defense preparedness activities to participate.

A survey on food defense preparedness among meat and poultry establishments is being conducted by Kansas State University, in cooperation with NAMP, AAMP and AMI. The university is asking for employees of large, small, and very small meat and poultry processing establishments who are involved with, or responsible for, food defense preparedness activities to participate.

The purpose of the survey is to better understand the needs of processors in setting up and operating food defense (security) programs, and develop effective training materials and other tools based on the responses.

Participation is voluntary and all responses are strictly confidential. The results will only be compiled in summary form by respondent groups, meaning information from individual facilities will not be examined.

The survey is available until February 29.
