Re-establishing Consumer Confidence in All the Foods We Eat: A Call to Action
Tuesday, April 1, 2025 | 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm
As 2024 outbreaks have shown, when foodborne illness outbreaks happen, it impacts consumer confidence for the entire industry. Together, we can re-establish our consumers’ trust in the industry’s ability to provide safe and enjoyable foods. Join us for an in-depth discussion with industry leaders and experts as we explore the complexities of food safety within the global supply chain and what we, as an industry, can do to help keep food safe.
The panel will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the recent increase in Listeriosis cases in the EU; the static recall events in the US; the decreasing consumer confidence levels; and the recently implemented regulatory changes to control Listeria in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods. They will look to answer these core questions:
- Considering all the data, can we use continuous improvement tools to take on one issue like Listeria, and focus on its epidemiology, pareto analysis of the root causes, and develop some specific actions as an industry?
- Is there innovation needed or more focus on environmental monitoring programs or validation/verification of the cleaning and sanitizing process?
- What steps must we take to reduce incidents and regain consumer trust?
This session will be moderated by Ecolab’s Lisa R. Robinson I Vice President, Global Food Safety & Public Health
