Description

Inflation and economic policies, like tariffs, can force manufacturers to adjust their sourcing strategies that may lead to increased food safety risks. 

Dr. Ben Miller, Executive Vice President of Regulatory and Scientific Affairs at The Acheson Group, discusses how food companies can re-evaluate their food safety programs - from supplier quality to workforce management - amidst rising costs and regulatory shifts.

In this episode we review:

• Where economic disruptions can weaken food safety
• What control points should be reviewed and updated
• How to strengthen supplier evaluation, testing, and verification programs
• The role of customers in setting food safety expectations
