Navigating food contamination: reporting and responding to incidents
More and more companies are dealing with food contamination events leading to product recalls.
Product recalls have been steadily rising in the food and beverage industry, driven by stricter regulatory oversight and heightened consumer awareness.
As supply chains become more diverse, and regulatory environments more complex, understanding how to report and respond to a food incident – including how to withdraw or recall unsafe food products – is a key focus for food and drink manufacturers as well as retailers.
Join Browne Jacobson and Lockton in Birmingham for an insightful discussion on food safety, contamination and product recall. This breakfast event is a great opportunity to connect and network with industry peers and specialist advisers.
This event is geared towards food and drink suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers, particularly anyone working in food safety and commercial operations, including product recall and withdrawal.
Our in-person and online events are designed exclusively for clients and targets. As such, we reserve the right to cancel bookings. If you’d like to speak to a member of the team regarding your attendance, please contact us.
