Why do food and beverage manufacturers need insurance?

From processing to packing, safety is a priority – but accidents still happen. Manufacturing insurance coverage provides peace of mind and helps you recover from costly incidents such as assembly line injuries, fires, theft, damaged machinery, and supply disruptions. Some policies, such as workers' compensation, are required by state law.
