GFSF End of Year Newsletter Released

The coming year is promised with changing landscapes in the field of food safety with new technologies, international standard, and financial instruments. The year-end issue of GFSF Focus is devoted to these new developments with special focus on the Asian food safety markets and the global supply chain. 

Focus’ lead articles spotlight strategic technologies and their growth markets. “By highlighting new food safety technology roll-outs,” “we’re showing future investment and trends in the market,” said Eric Wu, GFSF Director. The issue also contains an article on the Sanitory and Phyto-sanitary (SPS) agreement within TPP. A fourth article looks at the factors driving the demand for food safety liability insurance and GFSF’s endorsement of new insurance products for Chinese company suppliers. In early November Continental Insurance Brokers co-hosted a workshop with GFSF which was designed to introduce Chinese suppliers to two new insurance products it has endorsed for food safety liability and recall of contaminated product. Lastly, Focus looks ahead to early 2015 with its Food Safety Calendar.
