More than 200 food manufacturers attended our "Seminar for Food Manufacturers" held at Temasek Polytechnic (TP) on 2 Jun 08, jointly organised by the Housing & Development Board's (HDB) Industrial Properties Department (IPD) with TP, National Environment Agency (NEA) and Agri-Food & Veterinery Authority (AVA) of Singapore!

Most participants feedback were that the Seminar was useful as it provided them with updated information on the requirements from the regulatory authorities like NEA & AVA. After the guided tour, some food manufacturers were thinking of possible R&D collaboration with TP to improve their products.

Feedback from the participants:

Vismark Food Industries, IPD tenant with 5 units at Gourmet East Kitchen (GEK) : "We are usually less busy in the afternoon so it's good (timing). This Seminar is to the point and not too long. Thanks to HDB for arranging this Seminar!"

Wealthy Seafood Product & Enterprise, IPD tenant at GEK : "We hardly have the chance to attend such food seminars and thanks to HDB for arranging!"

Shin Hua & Company, IPD tenant with 2 units at Shimei East Kitchen (SEK) : "The topics covered were very good. TP gave us a better understanding on the range of services that they provide."

A group of GEK tenants told our colleagues that the event : "is an enjoyable Seminar because we can interact with fellow food Manufacturers."

Lawry's Singapore Pte Ltd, IPD's Lessee at No. 41 Tampines St 92 : "We enjoyed the talk as it gave us a better understanding on good hygiene for food handlers."

A photograph compilation of the event entitled Food Seminar @ TP has been placed under Self Improvement for your perusal.
