What is FoodNET Solutions?
The Department of Agriculture and Food WA (DAFWA) provides a free desktop helpline service as a support to all WA food and beverage manufacturers in technical and scientific information, networking opportunities and knowledge transfer related issues. DAFWA has formed strategic alliances with organisations such as Curtin University’s Food Science and Technology department, Food and Nutritional Science (FaNS), other government departments (AQIS, the Department of Fisheries, the Department of Health) and the Chemistry Centre. By doing so, DAFWA acts as the conduit for information and knowledge transfer in order to respond to queries relating to all aspects of food manufacture, including food safety, food labelling advice, allergens, trouble-shooting, packaging, product and ingredient information and emerging technologies. Email your query to foodnet@agric.wa.gov.au
How can it help me?
If you are a small to medium sized food company (SME) or a regionally based food manufacturer and lack in-house technical resource or time is a limiting factor, then FoodNET can answer queries or provide networking opportunities.
How much does the FoodNET helpline service cost?
This service is being provided free of charge by DAFWA.
