Please note: As of 1 July 2025, the New Zealand Institute for Public Health and Forensic Science (PHF Science) is the new name for the Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR). Articles and information published before this date may reference the organisation's former name.
The New Zealand Food Safety Science & Research Centre (NZFSSRC) has launched an exciting initiative to provide access to capability, resources and research projects on food safety. A searchable database is now available on the NZFSSRC website containing information from over 400 individuals, 18 organisations, 214 individual facilities, and more than 400 projects relating to national food safety science and research.
ESR leads the area of Risk Landscape for the project. Many staff at ESR filled out an online questionnaire gathering information on their food safety expertise for the database: https://youtu.be/MRMDiXFcc0I.
The information is a valuable resource for anyone wanting to identify individuals and resources available to provide research and advice on food safety. The database will be maintained and regularly updated by the NZFSSRC."
