Study: Food safety issues carry increasingly high risks for suppliers
While the industry’s ability to detect food-related outbreaks has increased, until traceability improves, this improved detection increases the risk of future advisories.
The financial risks and costs associated with food safety are increasing, and food suppliers will face continued increases in food safety costs over the coming years. The advanced technology that enables faster identification of food safety issues is also increasing the likelihood of more broad-based food advisories being issued.
That’s why the stakes are rising for food suppliers in a landscape of continuously evolving food safety challenges, technologies and regulations, according to a new from CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange Division, Denver, Colo.
