As we approach the end of the year, we find ourselves on the cusp of the ‘silly season’—a time that promises busy schedules, celebration, and a little bit of festive cheer.

In this edition, we are thrilled to showcase some of our food industry’s most exciting heritage brands. Among the highlights, aQuella and their partners ALPLA celebrating 25 years at the head of industry with their natural spring water and refreshing flavoured drinks. Exciting times as Cape Herb & Spice launches in the UK bringing their flavourful magic to over 500 Tesco stores. To quench the thirst that the warm South African summer will bring, Natural Drinks is a company at the forefront bringing consumers health-conscious and delicious beverages rooted in South African heritage. These brands remind us of the creativity and quality that continue to drive our industry. And we’d like to extend a special thanks to our key sponsors Kerry, Verder, ALPLA, NuPet and DBC Plastics, whose innovations drive industry and cultivate new technology, systems and flavours in making world class products.

We’re also excited to present the latest instalment in our Food Safety series. This month, we focus on Practical Prerequisite Programmes (PRPs) and related frameworks—vital elements that help businesses establish the infrastructure needed for safe, hygienic food processing. With practical advice on PRPs, this edition serves as a resource to reinforce the foundations of food safety, from sanitation and maintenance to temperature control.

As we dive into the festive season, let’s all remember that food safety is the cornerstone of a safe and healthy celebration. Here’s to a season that’s as safe as it is bright—wishing you all a joyous, successful end to 2024!
