    • AIFST Virtual Workshop: Navigating the Food Regulation Maze


    • Food regulation can be confusing! 

      Do you ever ask yourself "How do I know if the ingredients I want to use in my new product are approved and safe?"

      Or what about... "How do I know what I can or can’t say about my product?"

      This workshop is designed to help your business collect and manage the information needed to assist with regulatory compliance.

      The workshop will cover:

    • Overview of the food regulation system in Australia and New Zealand
    • Australian Consumer Law (ACL)
    • Mandatory labelling requirements under the ANZ Food Standards Code
    • Uniform Trade Measurement Legislation
    • The Food-Medicine interface - Complementary medicines
    • Practical exercise looking at assessing a label

    Whether you are entering the food industry or just trialing new products, learn more about the regulations that can protect your products and your consumers.

    Please note - This workshop will NOT be recorded due to it its interactive nature and long length so you will need to be able to attend in person on the day.

    Webinar 2 Shelf Stable Series: Technologies That Transform – Processing for Quality, Nutrition, and Speed

    Theme: Emerging food processing technologies that deliver fresh-like quality and nutrient retention in packaged foods

    Today’s consumers want more than just long shelf life – they’re demanding real nutrition, fresh-like flavour, and convenience without compromise. A quiet revolution is reshaping shelf-stable foods to meet those expectations. Technologies like high-pressure thermal processing (HPTP), advanced drying, and microwave-assisted sterilisation are enabling a new generation of long-life products that deliver on taste, nutrition, and sustainability. This session will highlight how these advances are helping the industry create shelf-stable foods that people actively choose – not because they must, but because they want to.

    Speakers:

    Kai Knoerzer - CSIRO

    Roger Stanley - University of Tasmania

    Tobias Schappeler - Scitek

    Leading the Way: How Leadership Presence Influences Food Safety Culture Maturity

    Nothing is easier than saying “it must be led from the top.” How? When? Where? The role of owners and directors might never have been as complex as it is currently. The accelerated pace of global information sharing has intensified the challenges faced by leaders in managing both internal and external stakeholders. Consequently, these leaders are now under greater pressure than previously anticipated. Some executives have shared that internal barriers have five times more impact than external barriers to growth (REF “Founders Mentality). Elevating food safety through stability and consistency can bump into some of these barriers. We suggest three practical actions to overcome these: core, plan, and structure. 

    Expect to learn:

    Objective 1 - Identify and define the key elements of food safety culture stability and consistency, including the importance of top-level leadership and the three practical actions (core, plan, and structure) for overcoming internal barriers. 

    Objective 2 - Utilise the three practical actions (core, plan, and structure) to develop and implement strategies that promote food safety culture stability and consistency within your organisation, considering the unique needs and dynamics of your stakeholders. 

    Objective 3 - Examine the effectiveness of your implemented strategies in fostering food safety culture stability and consistency and analyse the impact of the three practical actions (core, plan, and structure) on overcoming internal barriers and managing external stakeholders.

    Our presenters from Cultivate SA:

    Dr Andrew Wilson

    Andrew is a seasoned agriculture and food safety expert with over 15 years of leadership experience in Australian food safety regulatory agencies. Specializing in sustainable food safety practices for domestic and export markets, he combines practical expertise with a Ph.D. in molecular microbiology to enhance compliance across supply chains.
    Andrew’s approach emphasizes proactive risk management and fostering a strong food safety culture. His work spans all agricultural commodity groups, where he has driven improvements in operational systems and empowered regulatory agencies to focus on culture-driven behaviors, risk identification, and prevention strategies.
    A passionate advocate for engagement and data-driven solutions, Andrew is dedicated to advancing transparent, impactful food safety regulations that adapt to global demands. Off-duty, he enjoys family time, crafting in his workshop, or exploring trails on his mountain bike.

      AIFST is proud to partner with Cultivate SA to share this opportunity:


      Cultivate Connections Workshop

      In the rapidly evolving food industry, developing a mature food safety culture with an organisational approach to food safety risk management is not just a regulatory requirement, but a competitive advantage and a cornerstone of consumer trust. We face complex and unpredictable challenges, from shifting compliance requirements and supply chain disruptions to geopolitical threats and rising sustainable development trends. 

      The Cultivate Connections Workshop is designed to support participants to evolve their organisation’s food safety culture and tackle common challenges through cultural interventions. The workshop will bring together like-minded industry peers and expert facilitators with experience and insights to help work through practical scenarios. Attendees will gain fresh perspectives, discuss effective tools, and learn how to drive sustained meaningful change within their organisations.  

      Learning objectives for participants include: 

      • Identify and measure cultural attributes that impact food safety performance and speak to industry colleagues about their food safety wins and challenges.
      • Discuss and apply effective cultural interventions to solve real food safety problems, including using leading indicators for continuous improvement, integrating food safety with people safety, and managing emerging risks.  
      • Apply learnings from the workshop and others to formulate an effective food safety culture change plan to advance your organisation’s maturity.  
      Who should participate? 

      This event is open to food safety practitioners from the agri-food industry, including manufacturing, processing and primary production, who aim to improve their food safety performance. Diversity across sectors is encouraged to allow for free discussion, mutual learning and thought leadership without fear of competition. 

      The workshop content is designed for senior executives (e.g. COOs, General Managers of Food Safety, Quality and Operations) and their mid-level associates responsible for food safety, quality, regulatory compliance and culture. 

      Facilitators 

      Your main facilitators for the workshop will be Dr Lone Jespersen, Principal, Cultivate SA and Dr Andrew Wilson, Core Team Member, Cultivate SA. We will also be joined by Ms Rachel Downey, Head of Food Safety and Quality, Bulla Dairy Foods, to discuss their experiences in evolving food safety culture to drive business performance.



      Frequently Asked Questions

      What can you expect to walk away with? 

      Participants can expect to leave with some fresh ideas and perspectives industry sectors that they would not normally interact with, along with some novel tools to help drive forward their own organizational food safety culture journey. By sharing experiences and collective wisdom around what has/has not been successful in strengthening food safety performance, participants will have an opportunity to return to their own organizations with renewed insights and look to review and improve their own culture action plans.  

      Food safety is a sensitive topic for our organization. How will we share our stories without putting our company at risk? 

      The workshop is designed to be held in a non-competitive manner, approaching food safety from a practical perspective on tools toinfluencing human behaviour through culture, rather than focusing on detailed technical aspects of production. Participants will be reminded of their obligations regarding attendance and facilitators will be managing discussions to ensure that the integrity of these ismaintained. 

      What should you prepare? 

      To get the most benefit from this workshop, participants should dedicate some time to considering their own internal experience around food safety culture and risk management initiatives. Some guiding questions for this might be: 

      • Over the past year, what have we implemented to strengthen our food safety culture? What has been the effect of this? 

      • What events have occurred and how have we learned from them? 

      • Have we managed to avoid a potential significant event? What indicators alerted us to the risk and how did we identify them? 

      • How have our people responded to our food safety culture initiatives? What are your front line/middle management/senior management saying?

      Webinar 3: Resilience in the Regions – Decentralised Manufacturing & Remote Access of nutritious food

      Theme: Building regional capacity, Indigenous participation, and economic resilience through shelf-stable food manufacturing

      How can we strengthen our regions by rethinking where and how food is made? This session will explore how shelf-stable food innovation can empower remote and regional communities through decentralised processing, local value-adding, and Indigenous business participation. From modular manufacturing to community-owned infrastructure, we’ll ask: what already exists, what’s missing, and what’s possible? With the right models, shelf-stable production can reduce freight costs, improve nutrition access, and create meaningful jobs close to where food is grown. This conversation is about building resilience not just in the supply chain – but in communities themselves.

        Marketing the health benefits of food products

        The opportunities of Standard 1.2.7 and the risks of the food-medicine interface

        No matter the category of food product, consumers now expect it to be healthier and better for them. But marketing the health benefits of food products – whether they are true or not – can open up a can of regulatory worms. This half-day workshop will cover the following:

        • The risks of a claim re-classifying a product from food to medicine.
        • How format can impact on health marketing (i.e. can my food be sold in a pill, tablet, or capsule)?.
        • How has the regulation of sports supplements changed?
        • Distinguishing between high-level health claims, general level health claims and nutrition content claims.
        • Knowing whether the Food Standards Code needs to be amended or not.
        • How much scientific information is necessary to self-substantiate a health claim.
        • Assessing whether your product is eligible to make health claims (i.e. do I need to meet the NPSC and what on Earth is the NPSC?); and
        • Identifying pathways to market the health benefits of a product without making health claims.

        This workshop is suitable for people working in regulatory, marketing, QA, R&D, NPD and legal at food companies, especially those responsible for approving key marketing claims.

        Webinar 4: Sustainable by Design – Circular Packaging and Upcycling of By-Products

        Theme: Consumer-led sustainability through smart packaging and food waste valorisation

        Sustainability is increasingly shaping how consumers choose what to eat – and who to trust. Consumers are actively seeking products that reduce waste, use less plastic, and tread more lightly on the planet. This session will explore how shelf-stable products can meet that demand through circular packaging solutions and smart use of food by-products. We’ll hear from industry creating shelf-stable products that are not only better for the environment, but desirable on the shelf. From upcycled ingredients to compostable packs, we’ll showcase what real sustainability looks like – and what consumers are ready to support.

        Webinar 5: The Future Retail Shelf and its Disruption, Foodservice, and Export Potential

        Theme: Where shelf-stable is headed next – new formats, market disruption, premiumisation

        What will shelf-stable foods look like in 10 years – and where will we be buying them? This session explores how innovation is reshaping the category through new formats, channels, and consumer experiences. From chef-driven ready meals to high-protein snacks, pet foods, and medicinal nutrition, shelf-stable is no longer just about cans on a shelf – it’s a platform for creativity, convenience, and commercial opportunity. We’ll unpack how retail, export, and foodservice are evolving to embrace high-quality ambient products, and how brands are tapping into health, sustainability, and premiumisation to stand out. The cold chain isn’t just being bypassed – it’s being reimagined.

          AIFST online workshop: How to confidently make voluntary marketing claims food

          How does the Australian Consumer Law go beyond the Food Standards Code?

          Most of the marketing of food products is not prescribed by regulation in Australia. So how can we confidently assess whether our products are “natural”, “vegan”, “good for you”, “sustainable” or “fresh”? The key is being able to assess your risk of breaching the Australian Consumer Law. This half day workshop will enable participants to:

          • Identify who their “reasonable consumer” is.
          • Assess what their expectations may be; and
          • Know how much evidence we need to hold to substantiate our marketing claims.

          We will look at recent regulatory actions on emphasising key ingredients, origin claims, sustainability, and packaging claims, and more.

          This workshop is suitable for people working in regulatory, marketing, QA, R&D, NPD and legal at food companies, especially those responsible for either substantiating or approving key marketing claims.
