The Chilled Food Association (CFA) has launched a dynamic new website to promote the highest standards of safety and hygiene within the chilled prepared food industry internationally.

The information is rooted in the CFA's unique work programme, which develops and promotes best practice in food safety and hygiene in the production of chilled prepared food.

The site offers helpful information on food safety and hygiene for consumers, resources for students and industry, listings of courses and events and market data. The latest information and research on key issues and hot topics are available in the member area. The website is linked to the CFA shop where best practice guidelines publications can be purchased securely.

Kaarin Goodburn, secretary general of the CFA, said: "This new website is at the cutting edge in terms of the information it provides for its members, the food industry in general, regulatory bodies and the wider public. CFA is recognised by both UK and European government departments and agencies as the voice of the UK chilled prepared food industry.

“It is important that our interface with the public and industry communicates our message clearly. The standards of excellence in the production and distribution of chilled food are non-negotiable."

The website can be found at www.chilledfood.org.
