Fourth annual Food Safety Summit of South Africa

30 - 31 May 2023. Fourth annual Food Safety Summit of South Africa

Anelich Consulting and Food Focus teamed up in 2020 to present the first Food Safety Summit for South Africa. 2023 is its fourth annual Food Safety Summit, and (due to COVID in the previous editions) the first one in person. 

• Anelich Consulting was established in January 2011 by Professor Lucia Anelich, one of South Africa’s best-known and experienced food microbiologists and food safety experts. 
• Food Focus is a digital marketing platform focused on food compliance from farm to fork. The goal has always been to help those in the food industry do the right things. From making food safely, keeping employees safe and building the right culture, to being responsible corporate citizens, and minimising the impact on our natural environment - it's about compliance and conformance to standards.
