Effective management, corrective action, and quality inspection are of paramount importance for yeast manufacturers looking to comply with the three-stage regulations.
In the midst of rising competition from local and global manufacturers, manufacturers have been preparing for a difficult year ahead. Companies specializing in manufacturing yeast have a lot to contend with – stringent regulations, rising economic uncertainty, increasing competitors, and many more. Since food manufacturing and distribution is highly regulated, companies have to maintain complete transparency in their supply chain and must be prepared to act fast in the event of a contamination that would jeopardize the health and well-being of consumers.
Alongside the systemic challenges faced by food and beverage manufacturers globally, there are several other organizational challenges such as the ones arising due to mergers and acquisitions and regulatory compliance. However, changes in regulatory guidelines have compelled yeast manufacturers to remain compliant and deliver safe, healthy, and affordable food products to consumers. Another noteworthy fact is that the majority of food standard legislation is set by the European Union; and with Brexit on the horizon, there are likely to be far-reaching effects that will manufacturers to change their operational procedures to comply with the new 
regulatory requirements.
