Acting as a guiding force for food producers, the committee strives to promote best practices, foster collaboration, drive innovation, and ultimately build consumer trust.
The committee focuses on improving every step of the food supply chain, from sourcing raw materials to processing, quality checks, distribution, and food service. Its goal is to ensure food is produced and delivered safely, sustainably, and in line with consumer and environmental needs. By fostering innovation, the committee aims to make food systems more resilient and efficient for the future.
The committee strives to safeguard public health by driving continuous improvements in food safety practices, focusing on mitigating potential risks across the food supply chain.
