The Institute of Medicine’s Food Forum will host a workshop September 9 in Washington to explore ways to manage food safety practices from the supply chain to the marketplace.
In response to recent trends in outbreaks the workshop will explore ways to develop systematic, risk-based strategies for prevention of microbial contamination in foods, particularly produce, thermally processed foods and meats. The one-day workshop will serve as a forum for experts on various disciplines to discuss approaches, technologies and institutional strategies to manage food safety risks in a global market.
The workshop will cover three primary topic areas:
- Recent Outbreaks in Various Food Products: Lessons Learned
- Strategic Approaches to Outbreak Control
- Future Solutions: Where Do We Go From Here?
