Who is it for?:  UK, international or multinational food and drink, tobacco, cosmetics and pharmaceutical companies.

Food and drink, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and tobacco products are susceptible to contamination, both accidental and by deliberate interference through malice or for political or financial gain. Such incidents are increasingly common and, when they occur, attract media interest with potentially disastrous impact on the public's confidence in the affected product. Considerable costs can be incurred in both recalling and replacing the damaged product and in rebuilding public confidence.
