‼️NEW AWARD ALERT 🏆‼️

Produco: Food Safety & Regulatory Compliance Specialists NZIFST Collaboration Award is a new award for 2026. It celebrates interdisciplinary teams and collaboration between research and industry. The focus of the NZIFST Collaboration Award is to highlight how coming together around a shared purpose has created real, measurable impact for New Zealand’s food sector.

Unlike NZIFST’s other awards, this one focuses on teams, not just institutions. It values diverse contributions – from researchers to industry partners – and highlights initiatives where science has led to industry adoption, upskilling, or new standards, and also where industry has identified problems to be solved.
