CFA Director Kaarin Goodburn MBE has been honoured with
the Society of Food Hygiene and Technology’s Dorothy Cullinane Award.
Presented
exclusively by the SOFHT Council it recognises a ‘company or person that has
made an outstanding contribution to the food industry, with particular emphasis
on food safety and/or food hygiene and/or food technology’. The award was
created in memory of Dorothy Cullinane, expert in food labelling and allergy.
SOFHT Chairman Ian Booth said: “This award celebrates
the year’s most significant contribution to the food industry. Kaarin receives
it for her work on biocide regulation. Since 2014
she has led on biocides issues for UK industry, bringing together some 20 UK
trade and professional organisations on the Food & Biocides Industry Group
(FBIG). Under her leadership the group has spearheaded the
development of guidance on biocide use in cleaning and disinfection. This,
coupled with co-ordinating lobbying at UK and EU level, helped secure
recognition by the European Commission that food hygiene and safety must be
assured in the regulation of biocides.”
