The BFFF Technical Expert Group held their first hybrid meeting of the year on January 25th which proved to be a real success.
Altogether 17 experts joined the session, 9 in person and the remainder joining virtually, which was held at a new venue, the Newark Showground.
As always, we had a packed agenda which generated some interesting discussions including:
- Divergence
- The latest updates on food incidents & supply chain issues including the grey market, caustic soda, peanut in soya lecithin and Listeria in smoked fish.
- Detail of the Technical and Health and Safety Conferences on March 8th including an exciting Bring Your Team discount offer !
We were also pleased to welcome guest attendee Melissa Toney, Food Safety and Regulatory Lead from NFU Mutual. Melissa gave the group a whistle stop tour of her role and the work of the NFU Mutual. We hope that in making this initial introduction, it will help to identify potential areas for assistance and collaboration going forward. Should any members wish to hear more about the work of NFU Mutual, then please let us know and we will happily facilitate.
Due to confidentiality reasons, we are unable to circulate the full set of minutes, but if you wish to know more on any of the subjects discussed then please feel free to contact deniserion@bfff.co.uk for the latest updates.
In the meantime, we would like to thank the members of the Technical Expert Group for their continued support and dedication on behalf of the whole membership.
