Welcome to the Society of Food Hygiene and Technology
The Society of Food Hygiene & Technology was established in 1979 as an independent body, whose role is to offer support through membership to anyone involved in food hygiene and technology issues.
The Society or SOFHT as it is commonly known is lead by a high profile voluntary board of directors who are committed to food hygiene and technology issues throughout the entire food chain.
We boast many major retailers as some of our Supporting Company Members and are constantly striving to improve and meet the needs of our members, whether they are food manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers or wholesalers to name just a few.
The Society membership covers a cross section of the Food industry from market leaders through to individuals, offering a platform for like-minded people to share ideas, viewpoints and concerns through topical events or the Society's communications.
