Scraps & Recalls can reach up to 1 Million €uros.
The most severe and lasting impact is on brand reputation and consumer trust. Recalls often trigger intense press & online articles, with some incidents generating billions of impressions and bad buzz. This negative exposure can erode consumer confidence, resulting in long-term declines in sales and market share. For instance, we estimated that 60% of consumers reported a loss of trust in the brand following the recall, and companies face significant challenges in regaining its reputation.
Moreover, recalls can:
- disrupt supply chains,
- increase operational costs,
- and force companies to invest heavily in preventive measures and advanced diagnostics.
The food industry is also under growing pressure from consumers who demand transparency, traceability, and higher safety standards. As a result, recalls not only threaten immediate profitability but also jeopardize future growth and competitiveness in an increasingly vigilant market.
