Epidemics of foodborne illnesses are a major public health concern. Cases of foodborne disease and contamination are red flags of improper food safety protocols or broken safety rules. These issues with food safety and noncompliance with food laws are a burden on the food industry. A food company's involvement in an incidence of foodborne illness could harm the company's reputation. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that every year, contaminated food causes 600 million cases of foodborne diseases and 420 000 deaths globally.

It’s been several years since the last in-person gathering, and we’ve found that our customers embraced face-to-face interaction, with many of them claiming that an in-person meeting is far more productive than a virtual one and that it feels nice to be free of the distractions of daily office life.
