This year’s World Food Safety Day theme, Food safety: prepare for the unexpected, provides an opportunity to examine preparedness for food safety incidents among the various stakeholders in the context of future and emerging challenges.

The symposium will involve speakers and panellists from government and industry and the audience will include national and state government, industry organizations, food and beverage companies and interested members of the public. The hybrid format will allow an extended reach for the event.
