Intertek, the global testing, auditing and certification organisation, are delighted to have been invited to speak at the forthcoming Global Food Safety Conference (GFSI), to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on the 3rd to 5th March. This year GFSI is bound for Asia for the first time following successful editions in California, Barcelona, Orlando and London.

Anthony Liang, Intertek’s Technical Director for food certification in APAC, will be one of the first speakers of the day and will deliver a presentation on “What is third party auditing and certification” during the induction session on the 3rd March, aimed at first-time attendees to the event.

Calin Moldovean, Senior Vice-President at Intertek Food Services, states “It is a privilege to have been invited to present at the forthcoming GFSI conference. The event is not only a fantastic opportunity to network with industry professionals but also to exchange best practices for greater food safety around the world.  

Food safety is still a prominent topic for businesses across the globe and with increasing operations in the ASEAN region, we hope though our participation to enable delegates to understand the fundamental approach of the GFSI standards and how they can translate them it into improving food safety in their business.  Intertek’s wealth of experience means that our expert testing, auditing and certification services enable us to be the right partner for local, regional and international companies.”
