Food Safety Summit 2007

The Food Safety Summit 2007 is being organized by the Sri Lanka Association for Quality (SLAQ) food interest group and is scheduled for early 2007.

It is focused on reviewing the present state of food safety issues and reach a consensus in developing a national strategy to cope with present as well as potential future developments in food safety.

This will assist in preventing the food industry being caught unawares and cause confusion resulting in great losses to the industry, the SLAQ said.

It said efforts are made to make this summit a truly a national event by working with state organisations as well as testing and research organisations, accreditation boards and certification bodies professional bodies and association in the food related areas so that the overall implementation process will become easy and acceptable to all sectors.
