Food safety month is almost here

This Mushroom Food Safety Month, get ahead of the changes to food safety regulations with a three-part webinar series designed for Australian mushroom growers.  Why not your team together for Safe Mushroom Month morning teas and build your farm's food safety together. 

Start with Beyond the Checklist (7 Oct) to understand how food safety standards are changing, then move on to Beyond the Audit (21 Oct) to learn how to build a practical compliance system that supports and protects your whole business.

Once you've watched both, bring your questions to Food Safety in Focus: Live Q&A on 28 Oct, where Melisa Cavallaro and Clare Hamilton-Bate will be on hand to answer them.

With consumer trust so important to the industry's future, now is the perfect time to make sure your food safety system is working as hard as you are.

Beyond the Checklist - Understanding how food safety standards are changing. Available 7 October 2026

Food safety standards have changed recently.  Food safety starts with knowing what has changed and why. In this webinar Melisa Calvaro and Clare Hamiton Bate explains the recent changes to food safety standards and what they mean for mushroom growers and compost producers. It's the ideal starting point for getting your business Mushroom Safe. 

The webinar will be available on the MushroomLink website from the 7 October, so you can watch it whenever suits you – or gather your team over morning tea, press play and watch it together.

Beyond the Audit - Building a practical compliance system that supports and protects your business. Available 21 October 2026

Passing an audit is one thing, but having a food safety system that works day to day is another. In this session, Clare Hamilton Bate and Melisa Calvaro will discuss how you can build a practical, workable approach to compliance that fits your operation and supports your business as a whole, rather than sitting in a folder until the next audit.

The webinar will be available on the MushroomLink website from the 21 October, so you can watch it whenever suits you – or gather your team over morning tea, press play and watch it together.
