The horsemeat crisis has cost millions of pounds and done untold damage to the reputations of many in the UK food industry. But what lessons can be learned from the worst crisis to affect the sector since BSE? Food Manufacture is staging a free, one-hour webinar at 11am on May 16 to explore this.

The webinar Horsemeat: learning the lessons of an avoidable crisis will focus on how food firms can protect themselves from similar food contamination problems.

To help us identify solutions, we have assembled an expert panel of speakers. They include Andrew Rhodes, director of operations at the Food Standards Agency and Professor Tony Hines, head of food security and crisis management at Leatherhead Food Research.

Also taking part will be Hilary Ross, partner with the business law firm DWF, sponsor of this event.

Strengthen weak links

Topics will include how to strengthen weak links in the meat supply chain, and how science, technology and regulation can protect food manufacturers, retailers, suppliers and consumers.

The focus will be placed firmly on solutions for the future, rather than the problems of the past.
