What are your problems?

The answer is “Yes”. Introducing a new cleaning and hygiene leadership forum where the critical issues in food and beverage preparation will be discussed.

What are the critical issues that your food and beverage business is experiencing? Do any of these sound familiar?

1. Food and beverage regulatory requirements
2. Hygiene program development
3. BRC compliance
4. Audit preparation
5. Listeria control in low moisture environments
6. Extending product shelf life
7. Sustainability improvements through energy and water use reduction

If so, you are definitely not alone.

All of us in the food and beverage sector face many similar problems and all of us want the best, most practical and most affordable solutions. But how do you find them?

Some of us have solved one issue but are stumped with another, while others have a nifty solution to the problem we are challenged by, but in turn are troubled by an entirely different problem.

With a bit of networking and communication we could pool our knowledge and all be winners.

Enter Jasol’s sponsored series of free forums addressing the major issues challenging the food and beverage industry.

Problem-solving roundtable just for ready-meal and high-volume caterers

Industry stalwart Jasol, along with Prepared Food, is hosting a series of industry-specific roundtables specifically to address the major challenges facing ready meal creators/suppliers and high-volume caterers. By gathering together a team of industry professionals, we intend to find out the front-line facts and then present best practice information to the readers of Prepared Food.

But we want you, and others actively involved in the industry, to set the agenda.

We want you to let us know what topics you would like to know more about. So:

• What are your problems?
• Do you have expertise or experience that sheds light on new trends and issues that are known to be problematic?
• Would you like to attend one of the forums?

The first forum — the HyGenius Cleaning and Hygiene Leadership Forum — will be held in Sydney in November, with subsequent events in Melbourne in February 2016 and Auckland in May 2016.

We’d like you to be involved — either by sending in agenda items or nominating to attend. Just visit www.preparedfood.com.au and register your interest.

Participation in the HyGenius Cleaning and Hygiene Leadership Forum will be completely free, but numbers are limited so nominate to attend now.
