The excellence in food safety culture scheme is run by the Food Safety
Professionals Association, an organisation working to maintain and
improve standards of food safety advice, training and education
opportunities in the Irish food industry.
Its chair Lorraine Oman said: “Ireland is renowned globally for
top-quality food products, and ensuring that food safety and hygiene
standards are of the highest calibre across all sectors is at the very
heart of what our organisation does.
“Our Food Safety Assurance Accreditation scheme, which is voluntary for
businesses, is an extremely important initiative as it demonstrates
that a business is working consistently to adhere to the highest
possible statutory and regulatory standards.”
