The Cost of Food Safety Technologies in the Meat and Poultry Industries.

Table 4: Cost index values evaluated at sample mean values and at selected percentiles of
food safety technology use and performance of sanitation and process control tasks.¹

Industry__________	Variable________	-----Percentile-----		--Mean---	------Percentile------
		95____	75________		25______	5_________
Model: Food safety technology use and performance of sanitation and process control tasks.
Meat Slaughter	Sanitation and Process Control	0.99	0.99	1.00	1.02	1.11
Meat processing	Sanitation and Process Control	0.90	0.90	1.00	1.00	1.15
Poultry Slaughter and Processing	Sanitation and Process Control	0.89	0.90	1.00	1.04	1.29

Meat Slaughter	Technology	0.97	0.98	1.00	1.05	1.24
Meat processing	Technology	0.99	TÔ1	1.00	Tôî	1.18
Poultry Slaughter and Processing	Technology	0.76	0.96	1.00	1.28	0.62


Model: Performance of sanitation and process control tasks only, no food safety technology.
Meat Slaughter	Sanitation and Process Control	0.92	0.92	1.00	1.04	1.12
Meat processing	Sanitation and Process Control	0.89	0.89	1.00	1.00	0.99
Poultry Slaughter and Processing	Sanitation and Process Control	0.87	0.90	1.00	1.03	1.02

¹Costs were estimated for sanitation and process control task and food safety technology by
allowing S and T to vary and setting all other values at their sample means. Most terms drop out
and we are left with: ln C= Intercept + βsln S + βS2 ln S * ln S and

ln C= Intercept + βTln T + βT2 ln T * ln T.
