Highfield's 2021 food safety conference will be held virtually over 3 days in a series of live webinar broadcasts, bringing together some of the world’s leading food safety experts and organisations.
As the world continues to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, we know that maintaining consumer trust in food safety is going to be an essential part of the food industry's recovery and growth in the months and years to come.
Supported by the Institute of Food Science and Technology (IFST) and RHE Global, this year's virtual conference is aimed at professionals working in food retail, food manufacturing, food service and catering, as well as food safety tutors and environmental health officers.
Global food defence strategy and the impact of positive food safety behaviours
As consumers continue to demand more transparency on the products and companies they are buying from, manufacturers, suppliers and retailers must strive to meet consumer expectations for competitive advantage.
In doing so, the margins that separate the offerings available become increasingly slender, driving an inexhaustible search for value through an agenda of global sourcing of materials, services, and products.
By expanding our networks with global sourcing strategies, the global supply chain becomes ever more vulnerable, with risks shifting into new threats as well as new geographies.
Food fraud, questionable authenticity, adulteration for ideological gain and now global pandemics are all to be considered in our global food defence strategy.
In this presentation, Denis will outline how to challenge and strengthen your global food defence strategy and the impact positive food safety behaviours has on this.
