Our colleague, Nicola A. Smith, brings you the most recent edition of our quarterly food and drink sector newsletter for the UK, Legal NewsBITE. The newsletter includes coverage of a recent focus in the UK on meat processing standards and inspections by the Food Standards Agency, which has had a knock on effect on trade customers such as restaurants and pubs. This has highlighted yet again the importance of demonstrating compliance and supply chain mapping in the food and drink sector. Recent delivery difficulties caused by unexpected and severe weather disruptions (with the ‘Beast from the East’ and subsequent mini-Beast from the East bringing unseasonable snow fall to much of the UK) have further underlined and demonstrated the potential reputational impact that can be caused by a third party supplier’s failure to deliver.
