Food Safety

The consumption of fruits and vegetables has significant health benefits but maintaining and assuring the safety of fresh produce continues to be a major challenge for the fresh produce industry. Consumer and market confidence in the safety of fresh produce is critical for the long-term development and sustainability of the industry.

PMA A-NZ is taking an active role in supporting strategies which enhance the safety and security of produce across the Australia-New Zealand region. This is achieved through a regular series of food safety webinars, publishing Tech notes, provision of access to expert advice, delivery of training, and regular food safety community updates for members. The approach is centred around explaining the why and how of food safety by interpreting complex food safety challenges and proposing real-world solutions.
