CIEH launches new food specialist membership organisation
The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health has launched a new membership organisation that aims to help keep food safe, healthy and trustworthy.
The Institute of Food Safety, Integrity & Protection is looking to bring together all those working in food production, manufacture, processing, preparation, quality control, regulation and sales to share and receive information, influence debates and thinking, and enhance professionalism in the sector.
Members of the new organisation will be offered professional membership grades and will be able to access knowledge and good practice, collaboration, networking opportunities, and events that support the growing community of people who work in food throughout the food chain. The CIEH said the membership body will be of specific interest to those specialising in food safety who are not currently CIEH members.
CIEH chief executive Graham Jukes said: “TiFSiP is a food specialist membership organisation for the public good supported and run by the CIEH under its charitable objectives utilising the CIEH strength in depth in food safety training and environmental health regulation.
Never Miss a Retail Update!“Modern food production, manufacture and delivery systems to the consumer are increasingly complex and needs a “whole systems” approach highlighted by the Elliott Review following the horsemeat problems we experienced in 2013.The CIEH and TiFSiP will work with government agencies, regulators, the food industry and other professional bodies to support the coordination of good practice and standards in an ever changing world.”
Existing members of the CIEH are eligible for free membership of the affiliated organisation.
