What types of insurance does a food manufacturing business need?

Food manufacturers work with foodborne risks, recall potential, expensive machinery, and supply chain interruptions. Key insurance types include: 

  • Product Recall Insurance – Crucial in food manufacturing. Covers the direct costs associated with recalling products, including notification, removal, disposal, and crisis management. It also helps with lost income during the recall. 
  • Workers’ Compensation – Required in most states; covers employee injuries like burns or slips in industrial environments.
