FOOD RECALLS AND CRISIS MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP BY THE RECALL INSTITUTE

A series of product recall crises in the Australian food industry recently has significantly influenced consumers’ perception of food safety. The underlying concern is whether dwindling consumer confidence will spill over to other Australian food products. Earlier this year, a listeria outbreak linked to rockmelons claimed the lives of 6 people. This incident caused a 90% drop in rockmelon sales across Australia, leaving consumers deeply concerned about the safety of rockmelons. The next product recall crisis could trigger call for increased regulation that regulators would have to respond. Two key concerns stemming from food recalls are loss in sales and loss in brand reputation. This workshop will address any food recall challenges and equip delegates with powerful brand reputation protection strategies.

FOOD SAFETY INNOVATIONS SITE TOUR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE

Food companies around the world are increasingly concerned about the implications of foodborne outbreaks and rising concern on food fraud and safety standards. This gives rise to a stronger demand for traceability from suppliers and new measures to improve overall food safety standards. This site tour will show you the latest innovations in food safety, processing and traceability. Discover Biometrics and Sensory Analytic at University of Melbourne, the first in Australia. Combining invasive & non-invasive method, measurement of the sub-conscience dimension for preference of Food & Beverages become possible with Biometrics and Sensory Analytic.

FOOD SAFETY INNOVATIONS SITE TOUR AT INSPECTION SYSTEMS

As the demand for food safety standards grows, X-ray detection is growing alongside it as the ideal gatekeeper. Spotting contaminants in food before it leaves the factory holds enormous potential to prevent foodborne outbreaks, mass recalls and other disasters. Join us for a tour of one of Australia’s leaders in food screening technology, Inspection Systems, where you will witness a demonstration of the latest X-ray detectors. You will also learn how near-infrared fat, moisture and protein measurement, as well as non-invasive temperature measurement, further help food producers ensure food safety and compliance with associated regulations.
