Hello IFSQN! I am unsure if this type of post is fully allowed, but I thought I would try the community first! I was wondering if this community of great industry professionals could potentially help me out! I have a weekly assignment where I am looking to "interview" (just ask some very generic questions, nothing too in depth about process or procedure) someone who has experience using CARVER shock and ALERT within their FSMS (if you only use one, that is fine; the assignment just requires both to be discussed). The assignment would require for me to briefly detail a description of the facility, and give at least 2 examples of how both CARVER and ALERT (totaling 4 examples) are used as food protection systems within a facility's FSMS. I would also be looking for your brief professional opinion of how these examples have both strengths and weakness so that I could further analyze based on my comprehension of the system. If you are willing, please feel free to message me, or send me an email via xxxxxxx The questions could be answered via e-mail, or organized for other means!
