In Part 1 and Part 2 of our mini-series on the milestones of food safety, we covered food preservation methods from antiquity through the industrial age. In Part 3, we complete the series with a survey of the top 10 Federal Laws and Regulations having the greatest impact on food production and consumption since the 20th century. These legal developments have been critical to protecting consumers, as food safety...
Setting up a successful multi-unit franchise is challenging. It requires significant investments in time, energy, and resources to realize success.

In Part 1 of our mini-series on the milestones of food safety, we surveyed the history of food preservation techniques prior to the advent of the Industrial and Scientific Revolutions. In this post, Part 2 will look at five essential technical advances in food preservation discovered primarily by scientists and developed by inventors: canning, pasteurization, refrigeration, freezing, and thermometry.
