Arming manufacturers with the key information they need to manage food and drink safety risks is the aim of the Food Manufacture Group’s one-day conference – Safe and legal food in a changing world – due to take place on Wednesday, October 15 2014, at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon, Warwickshire.

We have assembled an expert line up of speakers, under the chairmanship of Professor Colin Dennis, former president of the Institute of Food Science & Technology and a former director general of Campden BRI.

Avoid product recalls

Speakers will tackle a range of topics, focused on helping managers minimise food safety challenges, which could help to avoid product recalls potentially costing millions of pounds.

Organisations represented at the conference include: The Food Standards Agency (FSA), the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH), Society of Food Hygiene and Technology, Public Health England Newcastle, NSF International, Institute of Food Research, Bernard Matthews and others.
