DEAR VALUED CLIENTS

20 March 2020

Rest assured, we stand by you – it’s business as usual.

The Food and Allergy Consulting and Testing Services team will always strive to serve you in the most accommodating and attentive way possible and focused, while supporting the advice from government and the World Health Organisation (WHO), limiting unnecessary human contact is an invaluable precaution.

Please be assured that during this critical time, as you integrate solutions in your organisation to flatten the curve of the spread of COVID-19 (while maintaining your business output), the FACTS team is available to support your management decisions with evidence-based information concerning the COVID-19 virus.

Our facility has increased the frequency of routine environmental cleaning, and ensure continuing good hygiene practice among employees. In addition, we have considered best practice in limiting the risk of our laboratory team members being contaminated by the virus – all to ensure that our laboratory services will continue as normal.

As a team, we are committed to remaining calm and rational during this process and applying our minds to how this experience may encourage us in safeguarding the food industry from biological hazards such as this one in the future.

Since the national status of the coronavirus pandemic changes rapidly, please ensure you research and follow trusted international and local media sources for the latest information such as:
