Beyond The Blog: A Preview of 2010
2009 was a wonderful year for us at Defending Food Safety. From the launch of the blog only months ago, to speaking engagements in China, Mexico and coast to coast across the United States, we are lucky to have had the opportunity to meet and speak with so many about food-safety.
The coming year looks to see a lot of changes to the industry, both politically and regulatory. The outbreaks over the past year have thrust food-safety to the front of the national conscience and, with that attention, even the best, safest and most admirable companies will continue to be faced with new and emerging challenges.
The reality we face is that food is not sterile. We live, from a microbiological standpoint, in a dynamic world that is full of unseen and unforeseen dangers. The important thing is that we are prepared for contingencies and unfortunate events.
Having defended food companies for more than a decade—since the last century, in fact—we understand better than anyone the stress and hard work which goes into producing the food our families eat. That is why we are so proud to stand beside you in your times of need.
In addition to the broad range of litigation services we have historically offered, we are also now providing direct consulting to food companies across the nation who ask us to assess their food-safety protocols, to provide the tools and knowledge to improve them, and to minimize their exposure in the unlikely event of an outbreak.
We have also broadened our outbreak management capabilities to handle all aspects of crisis management. In the event of an outbreak, we will stand shoulder to shoulder with you, guiding you through the maze of your dealings with government regulators, the media, and the public. Our firm provides a wealth of expertise and experience that is unrivaled by any other in the nation. In your most difficult and trying times, we alone are suited to guide you smoothly and safely through the storms you may face.
We look forward to continuing our relationship with you over the course of the next year and beyond. We are also very grateful to those who have made 2009 a great year. We wish nothing but the very best to each of you and your families.
Again, as always, thank you for a job well done.
