The context in which the food industry operates is constantly evolving, presenting a range of complex challenges and real or potential risks, including:

• Supply chain issues.
• Regulatory changes affecting all stages of sourcing, production, labeling, and distribution.
• Safety concerns related to food products and employee and customer safety.
• Policies to predict, monitor, or adapt to ever-changing consumer needs.
• Product-related aspects, including safety, recalls, and contamination.
• Distribution channels.
• Corporate reputation.
• Environmental risks impacting various areas such as sourcing, production, packaging, and transportation, among others.

These are just some of the key issues affecting the productivity of businesses operating in this vast sector.

Recent global disruptions have also had significant effects on the food industry, often altering its objectives, policies, and strategies. These changes have created new areas of risk or amplified potential impacts, such as the use of e-commerce sales tools, which require adequate protection of customers’ personal and sensitive data. These issues, although not influenced by recent global crises, also extend to the retail sector regarding the protection of customer data involved in loyalty programs.
