The new study, Navigating the Product Mindset, explores the connections and contradictions between perceptions of consumers and food manufacturers on issues of safety, innovation, performance and sustainability.
Global perceptions were collected from consumers and manufacturers in China, India, Germany, and the US across industries in high tech, food, building materials and household chemicals.

This research demonstrates the importance of moving existing food safety management to the next level.”
