What insurance do food manufacturers need?

Employer’s liability insurance can cover your staff for any accidents and injuries that may take place on your premises.

Public liability insurance can provide similar cover, but for members of the public who may visit your premises, such as tradespeople, deliver drivers, sales reps, and so on.

Tools, plant, and stock cover, as well as all risks insurance can cover your valuable machinery and equipment. This will cover you for repairs or replacements following fire, flood, theft, or other losses.

Product liability insurance is another crucial area of cover for food manufacturers. If someone gets ill or suffers from an allergic reaction having consumed one of your products, then they may take legal action against you. Your food manufacturer’s insurance could then cover any legal fees that may arise, along with any compensation that may be due.

Your manufacturer’s insurance can cover your commercial vehicles, along with your goods in transit, for any losses you might experience with your supply chain or your deliveries.

Why do food manufacturers need insurance?

Businesses in the food manufacturing industry face a number of unique risks and challenges. The food manufacturing process is a complex machine with many moving parts. If anything goes wrong with any part of the process, it can bring your entire operation to a halt.

Dedicated food manufacturing insurance can cover every aspect of your business, from your stock to your machinery, to your products after they reach the store shelves. Get comprehensive cover and you will have the means to respond and recover from any setback. But without cover, you may be personally liable for any financial losses that arise when things go wrong.
