New Security Enhancements

FoodSHIELD has just implemented a set of security enhancements to protect our registered members.  These features authenticate the site and its registered members, protecting against unauthorized access and helping to reduce the risk of phishing.

Effective: 11/27/2007

At FoodSHIELD, we continuously strive to deliver new security enhancements to protect members against known threats.
