Food safety begins with the confidence that the food we consume is safe and trustworthy. NATA accreditation plays a pivotal role in providing that confidence by ensuring testing facilities meet relevant national and international standards. From chemical and microbiological analysis to the detection of contaminants and biosecurity hazards, accredited testing provides confidence that food products are safe for consumption - because our food matters. This Australian Food Safety Week (9-16 November), we are reminded of the importance of 'Look Before You Cook – Reading Food Labels'. By paying attention to use-by dates, ingredients, storage guidelines, and cooking instructions, we can make informed decisions that protect our health and the health of those we care about. #AustralianFoodSafetyWeek #NATA #accreditation #foodsafety
