Protecting the health and well-being of consumers is always a top priority in the food industry. And while the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to implement regulations to prioritize the safety of U.S. consumers, some food companies are finding it challenging to keep up with changing regulations.
The sustainability movement in the food industry is accelerating. Customers are making more informed, climate-conscious decisions, and food companies are finding it essential to adjust their impact, too. The added pressure of global government regulations pushing for greener business practices are also pushing the needle forward. After all, according to the United Nations, nearly a third of greenhouse gas emissions are a result of our global food system.

At the heart of any healthy food organization is strong supplier management, enabling businesses to meet production schedules, ensure regulatory compliance, and establish better supply chain resiliency in the midst of disruption. As a food manufacturer, you may already have a set of trustworthy suppliers that you rely on for all of your products. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated, situations can change very quickly – whether it be due to a raw material shortage, economic volatility, or a new allergen regulation – and as such, you need to be prepared to bring on new suppliers quickly and efficiently.
