Overview

The food and supplement industries operate in a diverse and complex ecosystem that integrates aspects of hospitality, agribusiness, retail and consumer products. Companies operating in these industries are confronted with challenging supply and distribution chains, food safety issues and recalls, intellectual property needs, advertising pitfalls, and extensive regulatory and compliance requirements. Risks, liabilities and opportunities can crop up at every stage in the lifecycle, from farm and factory to store and table.
