WEBINAR I DSA – Recent development in the dairy regulatory landscape

The organized dairy industry acknowledges the importance of compliance with the law and related standards (national and international) as it pertains to the dairy value chain.

The regulatory landscape relating to milk and other dairy products is of a multi-dimensional nature and involves regulation of product composition, food safety, animal health and welfare, environmental management, animal feed, milking parlours, the transportation of milk, processing plants, storage and related matters such as export requirements.

South Africa is a role player in the international arena and compliance with national and international legislation, adherence to certain international codes and standards is of the utmost importance.

It is therefore essential to be cognisant of the role and functions of the various national authorities as well as bodies such as the South African Bureau of Standards, African Organisation for Standardisation, International Standards Organisation, World Trade Organisation, Codex Alimentarius and more. Safeguarding dairy in the interest of our dairy industry and the SA consumers in addition, unpacking and understanding the concept of sustainability in the dairy industry, in this complex dairy value chain brings many challenges.

These challenges can only be addressed through shared responsibilities between all industry stakeholders and the respective authorities. Watch this Webinar to get more insight.
