Food safety aspects in line with the International Food Safety Day 2026 celebration, namely to raise awareness on the importance of a food safety culture involving all parties, were among the focus of the Informed Society Programme for the Food and Beverage Sector. Organised by the Information Department through the Public Relations Unit, Nationhood and Community Section, Strategic Communications Division in collaboration with Brunei Darussalam Food Authority, the opening ceremony of the programme took place on 8th June morning at the Information Department.

The two-day programme is attended by over 50 participants, comprising officers and staff from government-linked companies (GLC), private companies and higher education institutions in the Food and Beverage Sector in Brunei Darussalam. It is hoped that the knowledge, experience and exposure gained through the programme can be utilised and shared with the community to produce individuals who are informed, responsible and sensitive to current issues that contribute to the well-being of society and national development.
