About FoodSafety.ist

Independent | Unfiltered | Watching What You’re Eating

FoodSafety.ist exists for one reason: to cut through the noise and give you the real story behind what’s happening in food safety across Australia—and beyond.

We’re not here to sugarcoat issues, repeat industry PR, or let regulatory spin go unchecked. Whether it’s a quiet recall, a dodgy additive, or a systemic failure in the supply chain—if it affects food safety, we’ll cover it.

Who We Are

FoodSafety.ist is run by people who’ve been inside the food industry—not just writing about it from the sidelines. We’ve worked in plants, on the floor, in compliance, and behind the scenes. We know the processes, the risks, and the loopholes—and we’re not afraid to talk about them.

We’re not aligned with any government agency or corporate interest. That’s how we like it.
