The guide and video package was promoted to the Australian food industry at the IUFoST Congress, held in Sydney in October 2000. We want to make a difference for food companies big and small.

Designed to be user friendly, the guide is crammed with training tips, step by step decision trees and useful hints. The video, Food Safety - Introductory Training for the Food Industry was sponsored by AgriQuality and produced by a Christchurch based company, Diage Multimedia.
