Clark Pest Control & RK Pest Management Service

The Food Safety Modernization Act places a high expectation of food processing facilities throughout the food chain to develop and implement strong proactive preventive programs. Simply reacting to a food safety event is no longer acceptable. The question being asked is this: what are you doing to avoid an event from happening? Al St. Cyr, Director of Education and Food Safety at Clark Pest Control and Richard Kammerling, President of RK Pest Management, both recognized as global experts in food safety and IPM, will be bringing together a unique group of experts to discuss the challenges and solutions.
