Food Safety Minister Jo Goodhew, will open New Zealand’s global Food Integrity Conference in Auckland on 13 July. Registrations are now open for this exciting conference, featuring international and local high profile speakers in the food integrity and safety, food export and producing industries.
Now is a key time on the world stage for food safety with regulations and requirements changing worldwide and impacting the entire food chain of suppliers and producers.
New Zealand’s supply chain with China is at the forefront of the inaugural Food Integrity Conference 2016.
Initiated by local company, Asia Pacific Centre for Food Integrity, the Conference aims to provide a forum for discussion on current issues facing food producers both in New Zealand and in China, including such harrowing topics as food fraud and food terrorism.
Asia Pacific Centre for Food Integrity, Executive Director and Conference Organiser, Dr Helen Darling, sees great potential for New Zealand to play globally as a leader in food safety and security. “We need to avoid everyone reinventing the wheel – New Zealand is a small country and to be competitive in the international marketplace we need to share knowledge and leadership. This Conference is an exciting and relevant forum to do this,” she says.
International speakers at the event include Sonia Bradley from the World Bank, Global Food Safety Programme, Professor Wu, Chief Scientist, China National Centre of Food Risk Assessment in Beijing; and Kevin Wang, Editor-in-Chief, China Food Safety Magazine.
