DMI, an end-to-end mobility company based in Bethesda, Md., partnered with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Washington, D.C., to incorporate enhancements and customer feedback into The FoodKeeper.

User error can result in food recalls. But, the increase in recalls by the USDA FSIS can be attributed to two factors—misbranding and producing without the benefit of inspection.

USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) will launch a year-long nationwide pilot project to assess whether retailers are using the recommendations in the FSIS Best Practices Guidance for Controlling Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) in retail delicatessens.

Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) selected DMI to leverage mobility through the development of a FoodKeeper mobile app.
