UNDER OBSERVATION: THE FOOD INDUSTRY OPERATES UNDER EXACTING QUALITY REQUIREMENTS

Nourishment provides the most important basis of our existence. That is why food safety has a particular significance. In order to improve food safety, lawmakers have in the past continued to increase the demands for transparency in the food industry. The result: today, there is hardly an industry under so much external observation and none as badly affected by recalls. That makes it all the more important to take the right precautions so that claims do not affect business in the long-term.

The GGW Group has a great deal of experience in the field of product liability, recall costs and product protection insurance. In the first step, the liability of the food producer is analysed. GGW Group then checks the contracts with buyers as well as suppliers and the explanation of statutory liability requirements. In the process, the damages and costs that can result from a product recall or loss are insured. The drafting of individual product recall plans has already proved useful and working together closely in the event of a claim is for us a matter of course. 

Klaus-Dieter Zühr: “We recommend that all food producers associated with the production process in any way engage in risk management, irrespective of whether they are legally required to do so.”
