Education series - Is Your Water Bottle Actually Clean?

Probably not.

A bottle can look clean while moisture and leftover residue quietly build up in places you can't easily see, such as inside the cap, along the straw, and around the seal.

Bacteria need moisture, warmth, and something to feed on. Leave a bottle in a warm bag with a little leftover juice, and you've created conditions that can support bacterial growth.

The good news is that prevention is simple. Wash your bottle daily, take it apart so every part can be cleaned, and let it air dry completely before using it again.

ISO 9001 has changed. Has the way we think about quality changed with it?

From its first edition in 1987 to the upcoming 2026 revision, the standard has steadily moved beyond procedures and documentation toward risk, leadership, and how quality is practiced every day.

The journey includes:
• 1987: A common global framework
• 2000: Process and customer focus
• 2015: Risk and business context
• 2026: A stronger focus on quality culture and ethical behavior

And the latest chapter raises an important question: How do you actually build and demonstrate a quality culture?

A certificate may show that an organization meets FSSC 22000 requirements. But what does the scheme actually cover?

With Version 7 published in May 2026, there are important changes that food manufacturers need to understand.

Our latest carousel breaks down 9 key FSSC 22000 facts, including what makes FSSC 22000 different from HACCP, why PRPs matter, how food safety culture fits into the scheme, what GFSI recognition means, what changed in Version 7, and when organizations need to transition from V6 to V7.

As National Science Week in Australia comes to an end, let’s wrap up the week with a fascinating question:

What if milk could be made without a cow? 🥛

Precision fermentation is changing how we think about dairy. Using microbial biotechnology, scientists can produce key dairy proteins such as casein and whey, without relying on cows.

So, how does it work, and what could this emerging science mean for the future of food in Australia and beyond?

Curious to know how it works?

Education Series - Vacuum Sealed Means Safe, Right?

Vacuum sealing can help extend shelf life, but it doesn't automatically make food safe.

Removing oxygen slows the growth of many bacteria, but some dangerous pathogens don't need oxygen. botulinum is one of them. Under the right conditions, a low-oxygen environment can allow it to grow.

That's why vacuum sealing is not a substitute for refrigeration. Moist, perishable foods still need proper cold storage.

Educational Series: Is the 5-Second Rule Real?

You know the rule. Drop your food, pick it up within five seconds and it's still safe to eat.

But bacteria don't wait for a countdown. Transfer can begin in less than a second, no matter how quickly you grab the food.

So what actually determines the risk?

It's less about the number of seconds and more about factors like moisture and the surface the food lands on. And that surface might surprise you.

What happens when a harmful algal bloom appears in waters where seafood is harvested?

Does the industry stop harvesting immediately? How is potentially contaminated seafood identified? And what needs to happen before harvesting can safely resume?

The response to a harmful algal bloom involves more than simply closing and reopening an area. From monitoring and testing to identifying affected seafood and determining when conditions are safe again, every step plays a role in protecting consumers.

Our latest article explores what happens between the first signs of an algal bloom and the decision to safely reopen harvesting.

What if your next change creates a food safety gap you didn't see coming?

In a food safety system, change management needs to go beyond simply reviewing and approving a change. Even a well-intended change can disrupt controlled processes, introduce new risks, or create gaps that aren't immediately visible.

Our latest article takes a deeper look at where these gaps can occur and the practical steps organizations can take to identify and manage them.

Can Honey Actually Last Forever? 🍯

That old jar of honey sitting at the back of your pantry might not be ready for the trash.

Honey has an incredible shelf life. Archaeologists have found sealed honey that was still edible after thousands of years. The reason comes down to food science: it's almost pure sugar, contains very little water, and is naturally acidic, creating conditions where bacteria struggle to survive.

But there's one thing that can still ruin it.

▶️ Watch the video to find out what it is and how to store honey properly.
