| About FTAA |
The Food Technology Association of Australia (FTAA) is a major food industry body for companies involved with the food industry in Australia. The organisation dates back to 1949 and it has made significant contributions to food regulation and technical issues in the food industry since that time. FTAA has provided training courses for the food industry for the last twenty years and is now responding to the changing needs of industry by creating a product development workshop designed especially for technical and development staff in the Australian Food Industry. |
| |
| Purpose of the Workshop |
This year's workshop will include interactive discussion sessions covering modern product innovation and development protocols. The number of companies obtaining a wide range of certifications and the increase in supermarket branded products have changed the face of product development to include a wide range of compliance requirements. Delegates will have the opportunity of interacting with expert speakers during the days’ proceedings. This workshop is organised by FTAA in conjunction with Advancing Food Safety Pty Ltd. |
