Welcome
A Note from the President
It is a great pleasure for me to let you know that the Institute of Food Science and Technology of Ireland has re-launched its website. Great credit is due to Dr Wayne Anderson, Lisa O’Connor and their colleagues at the Food Safety Authority of Ireland for all their hard work in bringing this project to fruition.
It is my wish that the new website will become an additional resource for Members of Institute in keeping up to date with developments as they affect the food industry in its various aspects. The Institute is representative of a broad church including members drawn from Industry, Regulation, Research and Academia.
It is also planned to include presentations from recent and future seminars on the website and news items and other contributions from the general membership will be welcome including suggestions as to how the new website may be further improved.
I earnestly hope that you will find the contents of the new website informative and interesting.
