Stevens Champions New Meatingplace Food Liability Blog
It’s been extremely fulfilling to host defendingfoodsafety since our launch a little over a year ago.
To date, we’ve welcomed over 100,000 visitors, received incredible feedback, and (I hope) helped you better protect your company from foodborne illness outbreaks and litigation.
And today, I'm proud to announce that we're launching the latest food safety blog at Meatingplace – Legally Speaking. Here’s the breaking news from Meatingplace:
By Rita Jane Gabbett on 8/5/2010
Attorney Shawn Stevens will join the Meatingplace faculty of industry experts on Aug. 5 with the launch of his “Legally Speaking” blog.
Stevens defends and counsels clients nationwide in high-profile foodborne illness outbreaks and lawsuits. He is an equity member of the Milwaukee law firm Gass Weber Mullins LLC.
During the past decade, Stevens has managed and defended hundreds of food-borne illness claims. Clients have included some of the nation’s largest beef producers, national restaurant chains and several food distributors and grocers.
Cases have involved outbreaks and claims involving E. coli O157:H7, Campylobacter, Clostridium Perfringens, Norovirus, Salmonella and Staphylococcus. Stevens also assists clients with risk avoidance, crisis management and other issues in advance of and following major food product recalls.
“Far beyond any other topic, food safety is the leading concern for our audience. One lawsuit or mishandled recall can shutter a plant forever,” said Bill McDowell, editorial director for Meatingplace and its sister publications. “Shawn Stevens' legal perspective is a perfect complement to the tactical and regulatory commentary of our other food safety contributors, Dr. James Marsden and Dr. Richard Raymond.”
Stevens also speaks regularly to national audiences on topics relating to the defense of foodborne illness outbreaks and claims . . .
So, thanks for keeping up with us on defendingfoodsafety.com. And, now, be sure to check us out on Meatingplace. You might even enjoy my first post:
