Food-Borne Illness Litigation

As the above statistic states, food-borne illness continues to remain a serious health problem in the United States. With the FDA’s passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act, it is clear that food safety has been made a priority by the Government. Still, with many of the agents of food-borne illness largely un-identified, it seems that despite best efforts by the Government and the food industry, our food supply remains extremely vulnerable.

An immediate byproduct of food-borne illness and food contamination outbreaks, the litigation resulting from these incidents places extreme pressure on in-house litigation counsel, food safety executives and private defense counsel to ensure that your client or company does not become the next big headline.

In an environment such as this, you cannot afford to be caught unprepared.

Restructured to minimize time spent out of the office while still providing you with the high-level content you have come to expect from ACI’s annual Food-Borne Illness Litigation event, attendees of this conference will walk away with proven strategies for –

• Managing and settling high-profile food-borne illness claims
• Tackling the underlying science behind the claims
• Developing a crisis and recall management plan that will minimize corporate liability exposure

This year’s conference will also feature new sessions designed to provide you with insights directly from the CDC, FSIS, Oregon Public Health Division and the FDA on what Government expectations are for recall events, as well what precautions your company should be taking now to ensure that corporate officials are not left open to criminal liability exposure arising out of a food-borne illness event.

A unique opportunity to get highly-specialized information in a setting where you can network and benchmark with your peers, if you are involved at all with food-borne illness litigation, this is one event you don’t want to miss!
