We worked with Fablas Ice Cream to analyse their production processes in detail and carry out a waste audit. We reviewed key lines, helping to identify overproduction, and supported the company to build an easy-to-use product costing tool. This has allowed Fablas to manage raw materials and finished products more accurately and in turn reduce waste and costs. #FoodWasteActionWeek https://lnkd.in/efwj8EMb .... Buom yn gweithio gyda Fablas i ddadansoddi eu prosesau cynhyrchu yn fanwl a chynnal archwiliad gwastraff. Fe wnaethom adolygu llinellau allweddol, gan helpu i nodi gor-gynhyrchu, a chefnogi’r cwmni i adeiladu offeryn castio cynnyrch hawdd ei ddefnyddio. Mae hyn wedi caniatáu i Fablas reoli deunyddiau crai a chynhyrchion gorffenedig yn fwy cywir ac yn ei dro lleihau gwastraff a chostau. #WythnosGweithreduarWastraffBwyd

Last week, the Food Standards Agency’s National Food Crime Unit (NFCU), in partnership with ZERO2FIVE, delivered free fraud prevention training to a cohort of Welsh food and drink businesses.

Meet Jess 👋 Since graduating from Cardiff Metropolitan University in 2000, Jess has gained 25 years’ experience in technical and quality management roles. Her focus within the technical team is to support our technologists, and of course to support businesses with their technical projects. Jess particularly enjoys compliance focussed projects – for example supporting a business to implement or maintain food-based certifications (including BRCGS Food and SALSA standards). Her favourite part of working within the ZERO2FIVE team is the variety in the projects we support. One day we might be supporting a start-up business develop a new range from their kitchen and the next might be undertaking an internal system review in a large manufacturer. Find out more about how we can help your business: https://lnkd.in/eUb2sv9z ...... Dyma Jess 👋 Ers graddio o Brifysgol Metropolitan Caerdydd yn 2000, gwariodd Jess 25 mlynedd yn gweithio mewn rolau technegol a rheoli ansawdd. Ei ffocws o fewn y tîm technegol yw i gefnogi ein technolegwyr, ac wrth gwrs i gefnogi busnesau gyda’u prosiectau technegol. Mae Jess yn mwynhau prosiectau sy'n canolbwyntio ar gydymffurfiaeth - er enghraifft cefnogi busnes i weithredu neu gynnal ardystiadau seiliedig ar fwyd (gan gynnwys safonau BRCGS Food a SALSA). Ei hoff ran o weithio o fewn tîm ZERO2FIVE yw'r amrywiaeth o brosiectau rydym yn eu cefnogi. Un diwrnod efallai y byddwn yn cefnogi busnes newydd i ddatblygu ystod newydd o'u cegin ac efallai y bydd y diwrnod nesaf yn cynnal adolygiad system fewnol mewn gwneuthurwr mawr.

Ahead of International Women's Day on Saturday, we're celebrating the inspirational women at the forefront of research at Cardiff Met. From ground breaking research to mentoring the next generation, their contributions directly benefit communities locally, nationally and globally.    As an Advance HE Athena Swan silver award winner, Cardiff Met is proud to provide the culture, policies and practices that foster gender parity. Our award reflects our ongoing work in this space, including our ‘Women to Reader and Professor' scheme, which supports female academics progress to senior roles. The programme provides structured guidance, mentoring and career development opportunities to help participants navigate the promotion process. By creating a supportive community and offering tailored resources, we can address gender imbalances in higher academic positions and empower women to advance their careers. #IWD2025 *** I ddathlu Diwrnod Rhyngwladol y Menywod ar ddydd Sadwrn, rydyn ni'n tynnu sylw at y menywod ysbrydoledig sydd ar flaen y gad ym maes ymchwil ym Met Caerdydd. O ymchwil arloesol i fentora’r genhedlaeth nesaf, mae eu cyfraniadau o fudd uniongyrchol i gymunedau yn lleol, yn genedlaethol ac yn fyd-eang. Fel enillydd gwobr arian Athena Swan Advance HE, mae Met Caerdydd yn falch o ddarparu'r diwylliant, y polisïau a'r arferion sy'n meithrin cydraddoldeb rhwng y rhywiau. Mae ein gwobr yn adlewyrchu ein gwaith parhaus yn y maes hwn, gan gynnwys ein cynllun ‘Merched i Ddarllenydd ac Athro’, sy’n cefnogi academyddion benywaidd i symud ymlaen i rolau uwch. Mae'r rhaglen yn darparu arweiniad strwythuredig, mentora a chyfleoedd datblygu gyrfa i helpu cyfranogwyr i lywio'r broses ddyrchafu. Drwy greu cymuned gefnogol a chynnig adnoddau wedi’u teilwra, gallwn fynd i’r afael ag anghydbwysedd rhwng y rhywiau mewn swyddi academaidd uwch a grymuso menywod i ddatblygu eu gyrfaoedd.
