This risk profile on ciguatoxins in seafood is an update of the 2007 risk profile. Although there is no evidence that ciguatoxic fish is currently being caught for consumption in New Zealand, climate change might change the geographic distribution of the ciguatoxin producing organism.
The purpose of a Risk Profile is to provide contextual and background information relevant
to a food/hazard combination so that risk managers can make decisions and, if necessary,
take further action. Risk Profiles include elements of a qualitative risk assessment, as well as providing information relevant to risk management. Risk profiling may result in a range of activities e.g. immediate risk management action, a decision to conduct a quantitative risk assessment, or a programme to gather more data. Risk Profiles also provide information for ranking of food safety issues.

The primary industries are changing. To meet the challenges and opportunities of today – and tomorrow – we will need to attract people from diverse backgrounds, who bring different capabilities to the sector.
Recently, MPI took a closer look at how the primary industries workforce is changing in terms of numbers, qualifications and diversity. MPI also looked at new entrants to the industry, who are they, where they came from, and how long they stayed in the industry. In this fact sheet we share some of the key findings from this analysis.
