Food Manufacturing Expert Witnesses

Food manufacturing is the commercial production and packaging of foods that are fabricated by processing, combining various ingredients, or a combination of both. It is the series of processes that move raw food products from farmers and growers to food products available for the public to consume. Fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, seafood, and dairy products that are shipped fresh from the supplier will be subject to manufacturing processes to prepare products for sale and may involve preservation processes like canning and freezing. The food processing industry is highly fragmented, and is comprised of several sub-segments.

The food manufacturing expert witnesses and consultants at ForensisGroup are extremely experienced in the field of food technology. They work in new product innovation and commercialization, quality assurance, food safety, and food supply chains. They are knowledgeable about integrated food manufacturing systems, food processing automation, and line performance management.
