On the afternoon of July 24, 2008, the Bohol Food Safety Team -a project of the Integrated Technology System & Support Amenities for Food Enterprises (ITS SAFE), was launched at the Island City Mall Activity Center. The event was opened up by a presentation of the ITS SAFE Project. Afterwards, a talk show followed with Mr. Norris Oculam, Mr. Fortunato Lim, and Ms. Pureza Chatto of the Bohol Chamber of Commerce and Industry; and Arnold Labunog of PROFOOD. The theme of the talk show was “The Food Safety Movement and its Importance to Bohol’d Tourism Industry.”
The Bohol Food Safety Team will make sure that all can avail of the services for product development, and that when the product gets to the consumer, it is still safe to eat. Food Safety is not only important to tourists since all of us eat. Bohol has an industry where the consumer profile is not only local but international as well.
It is only Bohol that has a Food Safety Team.
After the talk show, there was an introduction of the Food Safety Team and an MOA Signing.
