Food & Beverage
In recent years, consumer confidence in the safety of the U.S. food supply has declined. According to the International Food Information Council Foundation’s 2014 Food & Health Survey, more than 70% of Americans have expressed concerns about the safe production of their food and beverages, and approximately 40% of consumers changed their diet because of perceived food safety issues. Clearly, there is much for food manufacturers to be concerned about regarding the safety of their food products.
