More and more companies are dealing with food contamination events leading to product recalls. Driven by stricter regulatory oversight and heightened consumer awareness, product recalls are costly for business and carry significant reputational risk for food and drink suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers.
Join Browne Jacobson’s lawyers for a discussion with Lockton insurance about how to report and respond to a food incident, including how to withdraw or recall unsafe food products.
The webinar will provide practical tips and case studies to demonstrate how food and drink businesses can successfully navigate food contamination events.
