News Headlines August 2009
The month of July was a busy month with many opportunities for The Food Safety network to gain exposure throughout the industry.
Recent events that we exhibited at included the National Consumer Conference on 19 June 2009 and the Africa Big Seven Expo 19 – 21 July 2009. The NCF conference gave us the opportunity to interact with consumers and consumer organisations which resulted in a link from the NCF website to our website to assist the consumer via the consumer section of The Food Safety Network. Our presentation at the conference also resulted in a television interview and subsequent participation on ”it’s your right” – a consumer education programme on SABC 1.
