Food safety helpline
Our food safety consultants provide expert advice to our clients to enable them to meet the highest quality standards. We have expertise in a broad range of areas including microbiology, mycology, molecular and DNA based methods, product and process safety assessments, and technology validation.
All members have a number of allocated helpline hours according the level of membership they hold. We will be able to advise you if your question can be answered in the hours available or if additional hours will need to be purchased.
If you have a food safety challenge that you need our assistance with, please contact: [email protected]
