Workshop: Food Safety & Certifications

Starting a food business in the Netherlands comes with certain laws and regulations regarding hygiene and food safety, and supplying big retailers requires specific certifications of your production facility. With this workshop we want to provide you with insights into the basics of food safety and introduce the current topics and backgrounds of food safety systems. The experts from Normec will join us for an interactive session. 

You will be able to ask questions such as:
– How do I set up the hygiene and quality system in my business?
– How do I prevent food safety risks in my production?
– One of my suppliers notices a safety risk – how do I make a recall?
– Which certificates do I need in order to be able to sell my products to consumers?
– How does the certification process work?
