World Food Safety Day/ Portuguese beverages company opens doors to students
The Portuguese food and beverages company, Sumol Compal, celebrated World Food Safety Day for the third consecutive year this year.
This celebration at Sumol Compal took place during the month of June across three sites on three separate days, opening its doors to students and recent graduates to raise awareness about the importance of preventing food safety incidents.
Following a visit to production sites, participants were challenged to get involved in a case study simulating a supplier alert for a potential physical contamination incident in a raw material.
Participants enjoyed the exercise. Some comments received were:
- “Essential work by Quality Control for food safety.”
- “Very interesting and productive with a lot of knowledge sharing about food safety, as well as learning about the industry and how everything works.”
- “It was a very enriching experience!”
- “Very interesting presentation complemented with the visit and also very interesting the case study that we had the opportunity to solve.”
A company representative said: “These celebrations have been rewarding and enriching for Sumol Compal, as the involvement with partners and the community has contributed to the development of our food safety culture.”
