Our work is strengthened through shared support and collaboration.
This page acknowledges the organisations and partners who help sustain food safety culture research through funding, collaboration, and shared commitment to safer food systems.
Those Who Support the Work
Our work is made possible through the support of organisations and partners who share a genuine interest in strengthening food safety practice. They can contribute in many ways, including collaboration, funding, knowledge exchange, and industry engagement. Their involvement helps create the environment in which food safety culture research can develop and make a meaningful difference in practice.
Together, these organisations represent different parts of the food system, including industry, assurance, research, and public service. By working alongside us, they support practice-led inquiry, encourage collaboration across sectors, and help turn research insights into practical improvements in everyday food safety.
The New Zealand Food Safety Science & Research Centre is a partnership between industry, government, Māori and nine research organisations. The Centre serves as the national focal point for food safety science, supporting research, capability development, and collaboration to ensure safe food for all consumers.
Food Surety Limited provides specialised training and advisory services in food safety, HACCP, food defence, food fraud prevention, and food safety culture. Through practical training and industry engagement, it supports food professionals and organisations to strengthen risk-based food safety systems, build capability, and develop the behaviours needed to protect consumers and maintain trust in the food system.
AsureQuality delivers trusted food assurance services. With 150 years’ experience, we help New Zealand’s food and primary producers meet regulatory and retailer standards, access key markets, and build consumer confidence.
