Food Risk Management Consulting Services

Help make sure your insured clients are better equipped to prevent costly recalls with NSF’s technical expertise. A more complex global supply chain and an increased number of food choices for consumers present greater risks of a food crisis. A recall can threaten consumer health and the financial health of your business.

You can trust our proven track record of helping manage and reduce risk across the food industry. By properly handling a crisis, a company can demonstrate its integrity and capability, and maintain its customers’ confidence.

Managing a crisis begins with establishing strong programs before an incident. NSF can help you be ready to quickly and effectively respond to issues. We can also show you how to make testing and continuously upgrading these programs a routine part of your company’s practices.

NSF can advise you on tracking down and testing recalled items and provide expert witness legal support, while helping you keep your stakeholders and customers informed. Our tried-and-tested system can even help prevent or minimize the impact of future recalls.
