Pet food and products: industry insights webinar
Sedgwick brand protection invites you to discover the latest product-safety challenges and risk management techniques for the pet food and product industries.In our experience, pet product recalls have commonly been associated with some of the most emotionally-charged conversations from unforgiving consumers. With the pandemic leading pet parents to rely on their beloved animals for friendship and comfort more than ever before, the potential for brand damage resulting from a recall or a poor response to a recall, has never been higher.
Regulatory scrutiny of the pet industry is increasing - not just at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but across a number of regulatory agencies including the U.S Department of Agriculture, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Consumer Product Safety Commission.
During this 30-minute webinar we reveal how to plan for - and protect your brand and reputation in - times of crisis. You'll also hear crucial risk management insight from Bernhard Steves, Managing Director of Aon's Crisis Management Practice.
During the session we’ll cover:
- The latest pet food and product recall data and trends
- How to identify potential hazards in pet food manufacturing to mitigate incidents
- How to navigate the supply chain and manufacturing challenges exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic
- Unintended consequences and risks associated with pet toys and other pet products
This is your chance to get the information you need to navigate and prepare for the challenges and emerging product safety risks facing the pet industry.
