Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection has announced an exclusive in-person One-Day Seminar at its Global Centre of Excellence in Royston, Hertfordshire on Wednesday 11th June, 2025 to celebrate World Food Safety Day, an initiative from the World Health Organisation.
This exceptional one-of-a-kind opportunity will examine the themes around how to Unlock the Future of Food Safety, in collaboration with BRCGS.
The One-Day Seminar will provide a look at the inner workings of the Mettler-Toledo Safeline manufacturing facility in Royston, Hertfordshire.

It integrates research and development, manufacturing, logistics, final quality testing, and repair functions. The site provides cutting-edge inline product inspection solutions crafted to meet the ever-evolving demands of food safety and compliance.
The event, reserved for a guestlist of food manufacturers, co-packers, brand owners and high street retailers, will provide an exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the state-of-the-art production facilities.
