Seminar at Iceland 25-26th September 2014
SAFE FOOD & LISTERIA FREE PROCESSING LIMITED PARTICIPANT CAPACITY - REGISTRATION DEADLINE JUNE 30TH
Consumers will always be the driving force in the food industry. We have seen a shift in trends. Today consumers want affordable food that tastes and looks great, easy to make and of course is safe, healthy and fresh.
As the food business sector develops so does the risk profile. Industry will need new equipment and technology that cope with the increasing focus on efficiency and economy. They will need new ingredients to meet the desire of new tastes, less salt, sugar and preservatives to meet the increasing focus on health and freshness. All of this will affect the entire food supply chain and the food safety risk. What are the risks, what challenges are the industry facing, and how can we overcome them? Food safety is one of the areas where we do not compete. The entire food supply chain have to work together in order to face the challenges. With this seminar, we aim to bring together engineers, industrial professionals and managers operating in the global market to exchange and share experiences related to these questions. The seminar is a cooperation between Aquatic Concept Group, Aquatic Consult and Marel.
