A recent global recall involving a multinational infant formula manufacturer has highlighted a key challenge in modern food safety management. More than one month elapsed between the initial abnormal findings, regulatory alerts, and the announcement of a global recall, showing that even companies with advanced quality systems can face perception blind spots within complex, globalized supply chains. As food safety risks increasingly cross borders and production stages, reliance on end-product testing alone is no longer sufficient.

The release of the 2025–2030 U.S. Dietary Guidelines has attracted global attention, largely focused on visible changes such as red meat, full-fat dairy, and protein intake. Yet these adjustments are not the real story.
