From Peanuts to Prison: Defending Against Government Investigations Into Foodborne Illness Incidents

Hungry for the latest food law insights and developments?

Our Bite-Sized Legal food webinar series is just the thing to satisfy your appetite. Sessions highlight recent litigation trends and regulatory updates relevant to your day-to-day operations. 

The Department of Justice recently announced it will increase criminal prosecutions against corporations as well as the executives and managers who lead them. In the food and agriculture sphere, federal prosecutors have already demonstrated their willingness to prosecute executives of food production companies, seeking not only financial penalties but also jail time under the “Park doctrine.” 

In this Bite-Sized Webinar, Faegre Drinker attorneys Nick Klinefeldt, David Yoshimura and Joelle Groshek will discuss how to prevent and defend against government investigations into foodborne illness incidents, including an analysis of the DOJ’s previous prosecutions, what causes the government to investigate, what those investigations and prosecutions look like, how to address them, how to be ready for them, and how to take steps to prevent them.
