Food Surety Presentations at Food Safety Conferences and Webinars

In this 51-minute NZIEH webinar, Ray Haddad, Managing Director of Food Surety Limited, explores what separates a good food verifier from a great one.

The session opens with a striking real-world example linking poor food safety and public health: liver cancer rates in parts of Asia, worsened by hepatitis B infections and exposure to mycotoxins such as aflatoxin. This powerful story illustrates why robust verification and preventive systems matter — protecting consumers and saving lives.

Drawing from international experience and hundreds of audit engagements, Ray shares practical insights on how mindset, communication, and risk-based thinking can turn verification into a force for real improvement.

Whether you verify, audit, or lead food-safety systems, this session will challenge you to think deeper, see more, and shape a safer food system.
