Dairy food safety is primary concern

            Chairman of the Dairy Food Safety Victoria (DFSV) in Australia Shirley Harlock  and chief executive Catherine Hollywell said that after the annual general meeting, research into the food safety industry could help prevent disease outbreaks due to contaminated food. One disease that is trying to be prevented in the H1N1 virus which was recently found in contaminated vegetables in Europe. Coming up with the technology to detect these diseases early would be a great benefit to the dairy industry. This technology would help reduce the numbers of disease outbreaks due to contaminated dairy. This would also help create food standard on dairy throughout Australia. DFSV is also trying to create control points for these standards which will create an equivalent of raw milk to pasteurized milk.
