The Fresh Produce Safety Centre has gained a new sponsor, with fresh produce marketer-distributor Freshmax Group announcing it will sponsor the organisation and look to sponsor specific projects in the future.

“It is of paramount importance that we put quality and safety at the forefront of what we do,” said Mark Leng, general manager of Freshmax Australia. “I look forward to seeing the different projects that are coming and supporting their progress.”

The Fresh Produce Safety Centre is an industry-led not-for-profit organisation established by the Produce Marketing Association Australia-New Zealand (PMA A-NZ) to focus on food safety research and education across the Tasman.

“It is vital that industry get involved in the work of the centre, and Freshmax is doing just that by becoming a centre supporter,” Michael Worthington, CEO of PMA A-NZ said. “We especially welcome their engagement on future Fresh Produce Safety Centre research projects.”
