“Inaccurate reports this weekend that frozen food could supplies could be disrupted because of a shortage of dry ice are totally untrue. A shortage of dry ice may have a minimal impact on frozen food supplies.

“However, the CO2 shortage is already effecting primary production of many ingredients used by frozen food producers and this may lead to shortages of some frozen food supplies. However, chilled foods producers are much larger consumers of CO2, which is used to extend the shelf life, so chilled food supplies are likely to be hardest hit by the shortage.

“The greater concern is that the CO2 shortage will disrupt production throughout the food supply chain at a time when we are experiencing severe labour shortages and freight problems. These have led to major supply chain issues that are set to continue for the foreseeable future.

“The government’s announcement that it has appointed Michael Gove to address these issues and “Save Christmas” only shows their lack of understanding of the food industry, as most of the planning and preparation for December has already been completed.”

SafetyCulture takes a closer look at how teams can achieve extraordinary things in this new world of work.

When unpacking the structure of success, you’ll frequently find that greater heights are reached working together than working in silos. COVID-19 has been one of the most challenging periods for businesses, but it also demonstrated the power of teamwork as leaders and team players rallied together in the face of disruption and unpredictability.

Here’s the thing – more often than not, self-made success is a myth. A single person doesn’t own a successful outcome, they’ve earned it right alongside their teammates. And successful individuals don’t just take credit, they give it.

Today, we’re still in uncharted waters. New variants and waning consumer confidence lurk in the mind of every business owner. In short, there’s never been a better time to broaden our outlook in order to enhance operations in this new world of work.

Arm yourself with unique perspectives and practical insights at the SafetyCulture Summit 2021: Made Extraordinary, a global event designed for teams in operations, safety, risk, and quality. This event brings together an incredible lineup of speakers as they draw from diverse lived experiences.

Made Extraordinary is headlined by NBA superstar Magic Johnson, world champion athlete Diana Nyad, Lieutenant General Nadja West, and #3 CEO in the world Bob Chapman. The free event is set to inspire working teams around the world, delivering bold vision and hands-on tactics in equal measure, drawn from the diverse lived experiences of global and local leaders.

Broadcast live from Las Vegas, we’ll explore the structure behind success, innovation and the power of everyday teams.
