It is pointed out that there are three divergent viewpoints in food industry sanitation today. First that of the “Regulatory” official who simply points what is wrong and requires industry to develop the answer. Second, that of the educational or public health official who approaches the problems abstractly, hoping by education alone to inspire industry to do the things that the Regulatory official tries to force him into without education; and third, that of the complacent element in the food industry that regards sanitation as only being required when it is called to their attention.
It is further pointed out that there is a definite need for concerted effort on the part of professional sanitarians whether engaged in Regulatory work, public health work, or industrial counseling, to get together and bring these viewpoints to a common ground for the betterment of both food industry and cause of better sanitation in the interest of the consuming public.
