Food Safety Capital Investments, Cost Savings and Return on Investment

Product liability and mass torts counsel Alyssa Rebensdorf participated in a panel at the Food Research Institute’s Innovations in Cleaning and Sanitation for Low Moisture Foods Conference that discussed approaches in enterprise risk management relevant to dry cleaning and sanitation programs.

A clear and persistent barrier to improved food safety controls is the challenge of making well-reasoned value propositions about the return on investment. With this in mind, the panel discussed how food safety experts must be able to talk to various stakeholders, including upper management, about these issues and be able to clearly articulate how different food safety practices, programs and technologies translate into business interests.
