Safe Food Newsletter

Our Safe Food newsletters are produced regularly and circulated to all registered food premises in Dunedin and other interested or significant organisations and individuals such as schools, Lions clubs and training providers.

The newsletter deals with a range of food safety issues and, although aimed at the food industry, can also be useful to members of the public.
