Thanks to Eddie Andriessen

Eddie Andriessen

At the recent Annual Meat Inspection & Quality Assurance Conference Eddie Andriessen announced his retirement. Eddie with his work at AQIS and consultant has been a long term feature of the Australian Meat Industry. In addition to his work as a veterinary officer Eddie also authored “Meat safety Quality and Veterinary Public Health in Australia”. This has been the textbook for Australian meat safety and QA students for nearly three decades. His constant updating of the text has allowed new editions to be regularly released which has meant the book has always been current and relevant to both students and practitioners.

On his retirement Eddie has gifted the textbook to the industry through MINTRAC. This generous gift will enable the textbook to continue to be available to trainers and students as well as regularly updated.

On a personal note I am very grateful to Eddie for his support of MINTRAC over the last 20 years and his generous contributions to our work. Eddie is a keen paddler and he tells me he has a whole range of rivers he wants to paddle in his retirement. So happy paddling Eddie.
