Lack of Affordable Tools
Nobody Knows What to Do
Its going to Take YEARS to sort
Industry Does NOT have this
Luxury

Current Situation – Lack of Collaboration

Face Culture

 No System for Annonymised
Sharing
 Result in Lack of Sharing
Information

Current Situation – All Eyes on DNA Testing
 Appeasement Doesn’t Work in
the Long Term

 Criminals Moved on Already
 Root Issues MUST be more
ROBUST Management Systems
 Can’t Afford to Take YEARS to
Solve this

What Leaders are Saying - FSA
"We need to work better with Industry to
share information and ideas and potential
hazards and problems in the supply chain"

businesses have in place and the safety and
quality controls in place, so we can protect
the consumer"

have to get back to more testing of
products."

What Leaders are Saying - DEFRA
"We will work with the FSA and food
businesses to learn lessons and to
make any changes that are needed
to restore and maintain consumer
