The panel discussion will feature prominent attorneys who work on behalf of consumers and industry—with all advocating on the side of food safety. These internationally recognized, expert lawyers will discuss the common gaps or weaknesses they see in company operations, culture, and regulatory adherence that lead to adverse events, such as foodborne illness outbreaks and recalls. They will also debate the challenges and opportunities for companies to achieve food safety success on a continuous basis, including adherence to FSMA, and highlight the common leadership themes and values present in companies with mature food safety programs and cultures. An audience Q&A will offer attendees the chance to "pick the brains" of the esteemed attorneys. Attendees will gain valuable insight they can use to take action at their own organizations to sharpen focus on food safety—and stay out of the courtroom!
