INPLISTA - Information platform on international standards in the food sector

 
BRC Food
IFS Food
EUREPGAP / GLOBALGAP
Dutch HACCP
ISO 22000

 All these standards on Food Quality and Safety have different requirements for documentation, monitoring, risk analysis, traceability, allergen monitoring, GMO handling et cetera. The major European Food Retailers require that their suppliers work with one or more of these standards.

Unfortunately, choosing and implementing the food safety system that best suits a specific company, is not easy. The INPLISTA-consortium aims to support small to medium size enterprises (SMEs) in the food sector with this choice by organising:

• • Food safety standards seminars in 13 European countries (Sweden, Ireland, CZ, Spain, Austria, Greece, Slovenia, Poland, Hungary, Germany, Netherlands, Italy and Romania). These seminars will provide companies with information in their native language. They will take place between December 2007 and August 2008.
• • Food sector seminars for three major sectors: meat processing, dairy, and fruit & vegetables, These seminars will be organised in the native language of six European countries (Hungary, Slovenia, Poland, Greece, Romania, Czech Republic) and will take place around November 2008.
• • Food issues seminars on allergens, GMO handling, and food traceability. These seminars will be organised in the native language of six European countries (Hungary, Slovenia, Poland, Greece, Romania, Czech Republic) and will also take place around November 2008.

The information provided is directed to meet the specific needs of small and medium food enterprises in order to improve their position in the European market-place and to keep up-to-date with current standards and requirements.

General information on food safety standards and dates for the national seminars will be made available via our website www.inplista.eu and specific information will be provided at the seminars. The seminars offer the opportunity for you to interact with the experts in open discussions and training in food standards and specific issues relating to food sectors and food issues. The seminars are free of charge.

We invite SME food companies to participate in these seminars. This is not only a good opportunity to get information about food standards, but also to come into contact with other food SMEs. If you are interested in participating, please contact Jessica Wildner, ttz Bremerhaven, or the national INPLISTA representative for Czech republic (seminars will be held in Czech language) Andrea Pekarkova, UZPI Praha
