The Ross Peters Memorial Award for Excellence in Food Safety was awarded to Richard Bennett of the Produce Marketing Association Australia-New Zealand. Bennett has reportedly championed the improved understanding and adoption of food safety and quality management in the fresh produce sector for twenty years.

The judges commended him for his guidance, research management, resource design and communication.

“It’s a tremendous honour to be recognised by my peers in such a significant award category. The fresh produce industry’s safety journey has been a long one with many difficult challenges along the way. At each stage I did all I could to lead, facilitate and inspire those I worked with. In turn, their work inspired me,” said Bennett.
