We were pleased to deliver a tailored HACCP program for Team Global Express, designed specifically for the transport, warehousing and logistics environment.

Effective training has the greatest impact when it reflects the real activities, risks and responsibilities participants encounter in their workplace. That is why Food Safety Plus can develop unique courses for specific industries, businesses and operational teams.

By using relevant examples, practical scenarios and industry-specific food safety controls, we help participants apply their learning with confidence.

If your organisation requires food safety or HACCP training designed around its operations, we would be pleased to discuss a tailored solution.

Food Safety Plus was pleased to provide expert commentary for this Yahoo News Australia story after a Coles customer reportedly found a large abscess in a cut of beef.

While incidents like this are uncommon, they highlight the importance of effective inspection, quality control and traceability throughout the meat supply chain. Consumers who find anything unusual should avoid eating the product, retain the packaging and report it promptly to the retailer.

🍕 A member of the public has contacted us after visiting a takeaway pizza restaurant in Baldivis, WA, where they reportedly observed a staff member working in the kitchen barefoot.

This raises some important questions:

• Is working barefoot in a commercial kitchen an example of good hygienic practice?
• Does it comply with the business’s food-safety and workplace-safety procedures?
• What controls are in place to protect staff and customers from contamination, burns, cuts and dropped objects?
• Should enclosed, non-slip footwear be required in all food-preparation areas?

Customers should be able to feel confident that food businesses maintain appropriate hygiene and safety standards. What do you think?

Please keep comments respectful and avoid identifying individual workers or making unverified allegations about a particular business.

⚠️ Our food safety expertise was sought by Yahoo News Australia following a concerning discovery in a packet of Coles slow-cook chuck steak.

The shopper found what appeared to be an enlarged lymph node containing a localised abscess. We advised that meat containing an abscess is unacceptable, potentially poses a microbial contamination risk and should not have reached the consumer.

Coles acknowledged the affected meat should have been removed during processing and is working with its supplier to determine how it passed quality checks.

If you discover an abscess in meat, don’t simply cut away the affected area. Stop preparing it, retain the packaging and product details, return or discard the entire product, and thoroughly sanitise everything it contacted.

🥚 Eggs are nutritious, but they can sometimes carry Salmonella.

Salmonella can be present inside an egg or on the shell, making safe handling and cooking essential to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

Simple ways to stay safe:
✔ Buy clean, uncracked eggs
✔ Keep eggs refrigerated
✔ Avoid foods containing raw or undercooked eggs if you are pregnant, elderly, very young, or immunocompromised
✔ Cook eggs until both the white and yolk are firm
✔ Wash hands, utensils and surfaces after handling raw eggs

Good food safety starts with the basics. A few simple steps can make a big difference in protecting your family, customers and community.

More than 1.5 million dozen eggs, including those sold in Oklahoma, have been recalled over possible Salmonella contamination, the FDA says. FULL STORY⬇️

Teamwork looks a little different outside the audit! 🍷🧀

This weekend, the Food Safety Plus team swapped checklists, thermometers and audit reports for great food, local w**es and plenty of laughs at the Good Food & W**e Show Perth.

It was fantastic to spend time together with our spouses, enjoying a well-earned break, catching up outside of work and celebrating the people who support us behind the scenes.

While we couldn’t resist talking a little about food safety (old habits die hard!), the focus was on strengthening friendships, sharing great experiences and simply enjoying each other’s company.

A big thank you to our amazing team and their partners for making it such an enjoyable weekend. Great teams aren’t just built in the workplace… sometimes they’re built over good food and a glass of w**e!
