Marsh Webcast February 10— Implications of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act
NEW YORK - (BUSINESS WIRE) - As U.S. businesses look to understand recent sweeping changes to
government oversight of food production and distribution, Marsh will
host a webcast exploring the implications of the FDA Food Safety
Modernization Act on Thursday, February 10 at 11 a.m. ET.
Panelists participating in Marsh's webcast, "Risk and Recall:
Implications of the New FDA Food Safety Modernization Act," will provide
an overview of the Act's key provisions. The Act, signed into law on
January 4, 2011, gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the
first time, the right to order product recalls.
"As food safety has become more complicated due to global supply chains
and increased government, media, and public scrutiny, it is among a
company's most critical areas of risk," said Katherine Cahill, leader of
Marsh Risk Consulting's Global Product Risk Practice. "The FDA Food
Safety Modernization Act introduces many measures that can help
companies improve their food safety efforts. However, it can also expose
companies that have not instituted best practices to regulatory and
other risk issues."
Ms. Cahill will be joined on the panel by Patrick Sterling, Director of
Risk and Administration for Texas Roadhouse, which operates more than
335 restaurants in 46 U.S. states. Other panelists will include Geoff
Mills, leader, Marsh's Product Recall Practice; Mac Nadel, leader,
Marsh's Retail/Wholesale, Food & Beverage Practice; and Jan Schnabel,
leader, Marsh's Hospitality & Gaming Practice.
Brian Elowe, a managing director in Marsh's Global Risk Management
Division, will moderate the panel discussion.
