The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) will mark World Food Safety Day on Wednesday, 7 June with a ‘Breakfast Bite’ webinar titled ‘Starting a Food Business – What you Need to Know’.
The ‘Breakfast Bite’ webinars are a series of free, informal virtual meetings for food businesses and for people who may be thinking of setting up a food business.
Participants will hear the FSAI’s Advice Line Team – Niamh Dowling, Chloe Coen and Kevin Rowland – outline best practice on setting up a food business, who you need to contact, and the food legislation with which you need to comply.
All types of food businesses are covered by the presentation, including food trucks and other mobile units.Â
The webinar is free and the link to register can be found here.
There will be an opportunity for participants to ask all panel members questions following their presentations.
Dr Pamela Byrne, CEO of FSAI, is encouraging people to sign up for the Breakfast Bite webinar.
“We would call on anyone who is considering or currently setting up a food business to attend this short webinar which will cover everything you need to know on food safety and hygiene,” she said.
“It’s crucial for all food businesses to understand and comply with food legislation and so we also urge food business owners and operators to attend the webinar as a refresher.”
Wednesday, 7 June also marks World Food Safety Day.
Dr Byner said that through World Food Safety Day, the World Health Organization works to mainstream food safety in the public agenda and reduce the burden of foodborne diseases globally.
“Consumers have a right to safe food and all food businesses – whether well-established or newly-founded – must pay close attention to food safety and hygiene standards, which helps ensure that what we eat is safe. Food standards save lives.”
