Climate change: Managing the risk impact on food supply chains

In an era where climate change has become a defining global challenge, its impact on food safety is increasingly being recognised as a critical area of concern. Extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts and floods are not only disrupting food production and supply chains but are also amplifying the risks associated with food safety. As these climate-related events become more frequent and severe, food manufacturers, retailers and suppliers must adopt new strategies to safeguard the quality and safety of their products.

In a recent webinar, industry experts from LRQA, Barilla and Loblaw discussed the emerging risks presented by climate change, the tools and strategies required to monitor these risks and how businesses are adapting their supply chains and supplier relationships to ensure continued compliance with food safety standards.
