Welcoming October with Innovation and Awareness

As we step into October, a month that highlights both Cyber Security and Mental Health Awareness, it’s a timely reminder that safeguarding our food systems, like protecting our online security and mental well-being, requires ongoing diligence, attention, and care.

In addition, this month we feature industry leaders that are driving progress and innovation in the food sector. From beverages to coatings, and biomass fermentation to cultivated meat solutions – we bring you the latest the industry has to offer.

October is Cyber Security Awareness Month, now in its 21st year, with the theme “Secure Our World.” There are simple yet powerful solutions to protect ourselves, our families, and our businesses from online threats – a critical consideration for all industries, including food safety.

Additionally, October 10th marks World Mental Health Day. It’s a reminder that addressing mental health issues is much needed, both personally and in your teams. Your system is only as strong as your weakest link, so focusing on wellness will result in a stronger and more sustainable life, business and industry.

We’re excited to highlight VEGA, whose precision instrumentation is enhancing beer brewing accuracy, ensuring that every pint that South African consumers drink, is perfectly crafted. With the warmer days ahead, there’s no better time to appreciate their contribution to brewing excellence.

We also feature VOG, a key global player in the international food and beverage industry. Their insights into production are driving innovation on a global scale, making them an essential partner for food and beverage companies looking to elevate their standards.

As the global market for prepared foods grows, the demand for meat alternatives rises, presenting processors with the challenge of replicating the taste and texture of traditional products. Coatings can provide processors with the edge in this, enhancing flavour, texture and appearance of meat alternatives. Heat and Control explores the latest in creative coating methods and innovative blends, revealing the creative possibilities for improving the consumer dining experience. 

Finally, we continue our series for new food business owners this month, with our article on building a functional food safety management system (FSMS). It outlines the steps to follow to create a robust and compliant food business.

Here’s to a last quarter of the year that brings you growth, wellness, and success.
