Seafood safety seminars start in Perth

A SERIES of food safety seminars to be held throughout WA from May to August will focus on preparing the WA seafood industry for the introduction of Food Safety Standards.

The first seminar is scheduled be held in Perth at Frasers Function Centre in Kings Park on 23 May, followed by subsequent seminars in regional areas.

The seminars are being run as part of the Seafood Quality Management initiative and are designed to help the industry better understand the Food Safety Standards to be introduced by the end of this year.

Over past months, the Australia New Zealand Food Authority has been developing a series of food safety standards which will impact in one way or another on all food businesses.
