Food & beverage supply chains are easily crippled by safety missteps
Systematic failures in the food and beverage supply chain can compromise the well-being and safety of consumers across the nation. Earlier this year, the Abbott Nutrition Factory in Sturgis, Michigan - a factor largely responsible for most of the formula in circulation in the United States - was shut down by the Food and Drug Administration after many safety issues were cited. This lack of compliance with regulations set by the FDA left many exposed to risky consumables and eventually a shortage of baby formula that frightened parents across the nation.
Widespread disregard for food sanitation practices can also make many facilities vulnerable to infestations of rodents and other pests. Supply chains must be wary of following these regulations to the utmost degree, keeping both their businesses and their customers, safe and satisfied.
