The document discusses the increasing number of lawsuits against food manufacturers for making deceptive "natural" claims without a clear industry or regulatory definition of the term. With no standard definition, consumer expectations of "natural" foods are often misleadingly different than the actual ingredients in the products. This confusion has led to lawsuits against companies like Quaker Oats, Kashi, and General Mills for labeling foods containing synthetic ingredients or pesticide residues as "100% natural".

Proposition 65 in the State of California and the DINP transition for Vinyl G...Trevor Lee
This document discusses Proposition 65 in California, which requires warnings for chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects. It focuses on the inclusion of DINP (diisononyl phthalate) in vinyl gloves. DINP was added to Proposition 65's list of chemicals due to evidence it causes cancer. By December 2014, manufacturers selling DINP-containing products in California must remove DINP or label it. The document examines potential health risks of DINP in gloves and solutions manufacturers can take to comply with Proposition 65 regulations.
This document from the USDA provides guidelines for meat and poultry processors to develop an effective recall plan as required by federal regulations. It discusses past foodborne illness outbreaks that prompted recalls and their high costs. The guidelines address establishing a recall team, determining when a recall is necessary, defining its scope using distribution records, notifying customers and the public, verifying effectiveness, controlling returned products, and conducting mock recalls to test the plan. The goal is for processors to be prepared in the event of an adulterated product issue requiring a voluntary recall.
American Beef Packers, Inc. is recalling approximately 24,428 pounds of raw beef products that were distributed to establishments in California and Oregon after a carcass that was pending laboratory results was erroneously released and further processed. The recalled beef items were produced on August 21, 2019 and include various beef chucks, sirloins, ribeyes, and tenderloins. There have been no reports of adverse health reactions but consumers are urged not to consume the affected products and to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Product liability insurance protects businesses from legal and financial risks if their products are defective and cause harm.
1) The document discusses how the chemical diacetyl used in microwave popcorn's "butter flavoring" has caused a lung disease called bronchiolitis obliterans in popcorn factory workers and may also pose risks to consumers. A government agency was warned about this risk but did not adequately respond.
2) Factory farming, which confines thousands of animals in tight spaces, dominates U.S. meat production and causes environmental and health problems. A new map shows where these factory farms are concentrated. Consumers are impacted by the antibiotic and hormone use in these systems.
3) Recent large meat recalls and various food safety issues over the past year and a half have undermined consumer confidence in food safety.
1. The document provides summaries of 7 news articles. It reports that the Takata airbag recall is accelerating, Governor Brown declared a state of emergency in Porter Ranch due to a massive gas leak, the US sued VW for installing emissions cheating software, the FDA tightened regulations for surgical mesh used in some pelvic surgeries, Chipotle was subpoenaed in a criminal probe related to a norovirus outbreak, immigration raids in some states stoked fears, and Governor Snyder declared a state of emergency in Flint over problems with lead in the city's drinking water.
Toxic Chemicals In Your Shopping Cart - What's on Your List v2zq
The document summarizes reports of toxic chemicals in children's products submitted to Washington State between March and September 2013 under the state's Children's Safe Products Act. It finds that 78 companies reported 4,605 instances of 49 chemicals in products like toys, clothing, baby items and bedding. Many reported chemicals are linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and developmental and reproductive harm. The widespread reporting demonstrates both the prevalence of toxic chemicals in children's daily items and companies' ability to disclose such information to consumers.

Client Alert - New Amendments to California's Proposition 65 Warning Requirem...CohenGrigsby
California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, a/k/a "Proposition 65," is a law passed in 1986 as a result of a voter referendum. It seeks to protect the State's drinking water sources from contamination by chemicals determined by the State to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and it requires businesses to inform consumers about exposures to such chemicals via contact with consumer products sold in California, or via occupational or environmental exposure.
The document discusses new legislation and regulations around food safety in the United States. It outlines the Food Safety Modernization Act, which aims to modernize the food safety system by shifting from reactive to preventative response. Key points of the new law include increased mandatory inspections of domestic and foreign facilities by the FDA, requiring food safety plans and prevention controls, and more import certification requirements for foreign exporters. The changes are expected to significantly impact Chinese exporters through new registration, record access, inspection and food safety standard requirements.
The document discusses several unethical practices in the food industry from production to marketing. At the production stage, large corporations like Tyson, Smithfield, and KFC are accused of inhumane treatment of animals. Nestle was found to still use child labor in cocoa farms despite promises to stop. Monsanto uses questionable genetic engineering techniques. Improper use of chemicals, water, and false labeling are other issues. Misleading marketing claims by Complan, Horlicks, Red Bull and Tropicana show unethical advertising. Nestle promoted infant formula in poor nations irresponsibly. Overall, the text calls for more humane, environmentally friendly, and transparent practices across the food supply chain.
The document summarizes a workshop on the future of global fresh produce safety for retail and foodservice. It discusses how produce-related foodborne outbreaks have increased in recent decades. It also outlines steps taken by the FDA and other groups to improve produce safety, such as guidance documents, action plans, and regulatory programs in states like California and Florida. The future of produce safety will require consistent standards and practices across the supply chain to prevent contamination and illness.

A food recall is when a product is removed from the market or; a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful
The mere word “recall” can send a shudder all the way through a company, from receptionist to the executive team, to the boardroom and shareholders. Recalls are costly and risky and can threaten the existence of a company.

In the fall of 2016, Kraft Heinz recalled about 959 pounds of ready to eat Lunchables Ham and American Cheese Cracker Stackers (Lichtman, 2016). The recall was placed due to mislabeling of the packages as the labels for the nacho variety was placed in error on the ham and cheese basics package (Brophy Marcus, 2016). The cracker stackers contain wheat and soy and these allergens were not listed on the packaging.
The defective packages were subject to recall had an establishment number of EST. 537K” inside the USDA mark of inspection and it was identified that those packages were sent to retailers in Utah and California (Lichtman, 2016). The discovery was made by a consumer who filed a complaint with Heinz Craft on October 6, 2016 but reported no illness due to the mislabeling. The USDA urged consumers to throw away the product or return it to the place of purchase, though no reports of adverse reactions due to the mislabeling were reported (Litchtman, 2016). Kraft Heinz made a statement apologizing for the situation saying they were working hard to communicate with consumers and investigate improvements to avoid this happening again (Brophy Marcus, 2016).
Allergens have become a common concern for parents in this day in age and while the product was not recalled for E. coli or Salmonella, allergic reactions can put the life of an individual in danger. The thought of a child having a severe reaction is frightening for a parent and while it is quite possible that the consumer who reported the erroneous label wouldn’t be impacted by the problem, they did the right thing to help avoid a bigger problem. Kraft Heinz then did the right thing in investigating the issue and identifying the batches of products that should be thrown away.
Having two children myself, I can say that I knew about this recall but not necessarily what caused it. The fact that the FDA classified the recall as a Class I recall, which means it is a health hazard situation where there is reason to believe that consumption of the product can cause serious health issues or even death (Litchman,2016). My son begged me for a Lunchable for months, and not until the last day of school was I ready to buy one again. Doing more research for this assignment, I am realizing that my children wouldn’t even be impacted by the erro.

With an ever-changing political scene and limited time left to conclude the negotiations for the United Kingdom’s (UK) exit from the European Union (EU), attention is now beginning to turn to the potential consequences of Brexit. This paper discusses the issues that insurers face and considers the interplay between insurers’ contractual obligation to continue to service policies (including paying claims) versus the practical impact that local regulation might have on their ability to do so.

IFRS Report - Important upcoming accounting changes Graeme Cross
The new IFRS 9 rules effective January 2018, and equivalent US GAAP standards (ASU 2016-13) effective in 2019, are aimed at
increasing the accuracy and transparency of how credit risk is represented on a company’s Balance Sheet and P&L. Both new
standards include requirements around the use of both historic as well as forward looking credit information in order to calculate
the provisions for credit losses (Expected Credit Losses).

property risk profile.
Many businesses and governments have been reporting on environmental and climate data for over 15 years now, but the way they do is set to change. Following the UN’s Paris
Agreement to address climate risk by cutting greenhouse gas emissions, financial regulators are increasingly concerned about the systemic risks that climate change poses to the financial
system. After the 2008 financial crisis, regulators do not want any disorderly transitions in the market due to a misallocation of capital
Aon has developed a proprietary diagnostic tool to help risk leaders quickly assess their organization’s global supply chain exposures across a variety of key marketplace supply chain indicators.
In the complex and dynamic global risk environment, risk managers play an increasingly vital role in helping their organizations understand, prioritize and manage critical exposures affecting their operations and supply chains.
Today, along with catastrophic property risks, expanding cyber threats, terrorism, supplier insolvency, product integrity and reputational issues, businesses relying on global supply chains must navigate widening geopolitical challenges brought by rising nationalism.
As business leaders, planning, finance and operations executives strive to anticipate how these developments might affect their cross-border trade relationships, effective and forward-looking supply chain risk management is critical to sound decision-making. Aon’s Supply Chain Diagnostic helps clients flag supply chain vulnerabilities and improve resiliency.

A Message from Bernie Steves, Managing Director
and Practice Leader, Crisis Management
Welcome to the May Edition of Crisis Management’s RecallRegister, Aon’s monthly recall
and product safety newsletter. This publication provides a review of the month’s recalls as
reported by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the U.S Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). In addition
to recall announcements, RecallRegister provides an update on the product recall and
contamination insurance marketplace and environment. Each month, we highlight issues
of importance including new markets and capacity, significant recall events and changes
in legislation affecting the consumer products industry.

Announcements
Pilgrim’s Pride Recalls 4.5 Million Pounds
of Chicken Products
After approximately 40,000 pounds of chicken nuggets were recalled earlier this month,
Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. announced a recall of more than 4,500,000 pounds of fully cooked chicken
products as a result of consumer complaints that the products contained extraneous material
including metal and plastic. This nationwide recall includes more than 20 products that were
produced between August 21, 2014 to March 1, 2016. The recall affects three brands: Gold Kist
Farms, Pierce Chicken and Sweet Georgia Brand.
Despite there being no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these
products, FSIS personnel identified the potentially affected product types and dates of
production after investigating additional consumer complaints of foreign material contamination
that the firm received. This investigation ultimately resulted in the most recent recall
announcement of the 4,500,000 pounds of affected product. Learn more here.

U.S. Department of Transportation Expands Takata
Recall; 35-40 Millions Additional Airbags Through 2019
During May 2016, the U.S. Department of Transportation expanded and accelerated the Takata
air bag inflators recall to protect American drivers and passengers. This expansion was based on a
five recall phase of prioritizing risk which was determined by the age of the inflators and exposure
to high humidity and fluctuating high temperatures that accelerated the degradation of the
chemical propellant. Ruptures of the Takata inflators have been tied to ten deaths and more than
a hundred injuries in the United States. This recall decision follows the agency’s confirmation of
the root cause behind the inflators’ propensity to rupture.
Under the Amended Consent Order issued to Takata this week, the company is required to make a
series of safety defect decisions that will support vehicle manufacturer recall campaigns of an
additional estimated 30-40 million inflators. This expansion phase occurring, between May 2016
through December 2019, will add to the already 28.8 million air bag inflators previously recalled.
Also, the expansions mean that all Takata ammonium nitrate-based propellant driver and
passenger frontal air bag inflators without a chemical drying agent (also known as a desiccant) will
be recalled.
NHTSA will also consult with affected vehicle manufacturers before revising the Coordinated
Remedy Order that governs the accelerated program to obtain and install replacement inflators.
The Coordinated Remedy Program will continue to ensure that replacement inflators will be made
available to highest-risk vehicles, first. The revised Coordinated Remedy Program, which will be
announced later this summer, will detail the updated vehicle schedule with manufactures,
supplies, parts, and repairs.

Voluntary Recall of Fetch™ 2 Aspiration
Catheter
Boston Scientific, Marlborough,
Massachusetts, has initiated a global,
voluntary recall of all models of its Fetch™ 2
Aspiration Catheter, a thrombectomy
catheter used during procedures to remove
small blood clots from coronary arteries. The
Fetch 2 catheters were recalled on March 22,
2016, due to complaints of shaft breakage.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
classified the action as a Class 1 recall. This
recall designation means that the use of the
device exposes the patient to a reasonable
chance of a serious adverse health
consequence or death.
There have been no reports of patient injury
or death, and there is no risk to patients who
previously underwent a thrombectomy
procedure with the Fetch 2 catheter. All
reports of shaft breakage happened during
the procedure, and the broken section was
either removed while still partially attached
to the catheter shaft or retrieved with a snare,
without further patient complications. While
unreported, the most severe potential
outcome of this breakage is embolism of
device fragments, which could lead to
obstruction of blood flow or additional
intervention to remove a device fragment
surgically.
Because Boston Scientific acquired the Fetch
2 catheter product line from Bayer Medical
Care Inc., all recalled inventory is packaged
and labeled as Bayer product. This device
was manufactured between June 11, 2014
and February 19, 2016. There are currently
21,155 devices on the market subject to this
recall.Physicians and healthcare facilities can
direct questions to their Boston Scientific
representative or, call 1-800-811-3211.
Adverse reactions or quality problems
experienced with the use of this product may
be reported to the FDA MedWatch Adverse
Event Reporting program either online, by
regular mail or by fax.

Medtronic is notifying customers worldwide
of a voluntary recall for the battery pack used
in its Covidien Oridion labeled

manufacturer between April 2014 and

impacted by this field action. Of these seven
reports, one involved a fire resulting in smoke
inhalation and minor burns. On April 15,

contract manufacturer as the probable root
cause and is manufacturing new batteries
