The FDF is proactively engaged with members and regulators on incident prevention and horizon scanning for emerging issues, to inform industry’s own activity to maintain the assurance and integrity of its products and supply chains.
We maintain an open dialogue with UK regulators and food chain partners to ensure members are alert to potential food safety or authenticity issues and can respond swiftly to emerging risks to protect consumers.
The FDF also supports the development and sharing of best practice, aimed at ensuring that robust systems are in place to deal effectively with an incident when it occurs.
FDF Cymru
FDF Cymru advocate risks, challenges and opportunities on behalf of our members and the wider sector to Welsh government, Food and Drink Industry Board and as an active member of the Welsh food and drink cluster lead team.
For specific incident management, FDF Cymru operates as a hands-on customer care service for members from or with sites in Wales as incidents arise with Covid-19. We assist with Welsh related webinars, regular updates on policy and funding support, and general member assistance.
EU exit transition, whilst the overall issues were driven by mostly UK government initiatives, FDF Cymru ensures that the perspective of Welsh food and drink is fed into the wider FDF team to ensure that our overall view encompasses a Welsh industry perspective.
