Last week, we welcomed food safety leaders from across the industry to our Amsterdam HQ for the 4th Annual Proactive Food Safety Conference, a day centred on innovation, collaboration and the future of trusted food delivery.
With more than 120 industry leaders and 25 expert speakers under one roof, the event created a powerful space to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping tomorrow’s food safety standards. From regulatory shifts to emerging consumer trends, it was a packed agenda focused on what really matters: safer food, smarter systems, and stronger partnerships.
Throughout the day, experts and ambassadors dived into some of the most important topics shaping the future of our industry, including:
🔍 Proactive risk management — looking beyond compliance to identify and mitigate emerging safety challenges
🤖 The role of AI in food safety — including how Just Eat Takeaway.com is using cutting-edge tech to enhance menu building and optimise delivery logistics
🤝 Collaborative best practice — sharing insights to elevate supply chain integrity and protect consumers end-to-end
Behind the scenes, our Food & Product Safety Team continues to play a crucial role in accelerating and de-risking growth through technology. Over the past five years, the team has supported major commercial negotiations and strengthened trust with partners whose own compliance standards are among the highest in the world — from McDonald’s and Co-op to Walmart, Albert Heijn and many more.
It’s a remarkable achievement for a dedicated team, and hosting this year’s conference at our Amsterdam HQ marked a proud milestone: the completion of a five-year plan focused on elevating the safety profile of our business.
“Hosting this event at our Amsterdam HQ gave us a unique opportunity to bring the industry's best thinkers together and steer vital conversations on topics shaping the secure growth of our business.” - Steven Glass, Global Food & Product Safety Director
