Food Safety Accreditation

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): Supplementary: can the minister outline for the chamber what the trigger was for the review process and whether there was a specific food safety incident that drove that review and consequent changes in process?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:38): When we are talking about food safety, which after all means human safety, it is entirely appropriate that there be ongoing updates and that we ensure that the standards and processes are fit for purpose and meet current requirements. Hence, that review was undertaken and those improvements are being implemented.
