Sysco
issued the following statement 18 July regarding its commitment to food safety.
Bill
DeLaney, Sysco’s president and chief executive officer, said “Food safety is
Sysco’s No. 1 priority, and it cannot be compromised.
"We sincerely regret that
some of our California companies failed to adhere to our long-standing policies
related to drop sites. The California Department of Public Health and the
county district attorneys received our full cooperation in their investigations
of our practices. In addition to the settlement with the state, we have comprehensively
addressed our food safety and quality assurance practices in California and
across the Sysco enterprise by putting in place the following positive steps:
“First,
as we stated in September 2013, we eliminated the use of drop sites across
Sysco.
"Second, we have introduced mandatory, annual food safety training for
all employees across Sysco.
"Third, we are implementing additional and improved
food safety reporting, monitoring and compliance controls across our operations
to ensure adherence to our policies,” says Mr
DeLaney
