Emerging Issues in Food Safety: Locally. Nationally and Globally

The food safety landscape is changing. With the advent of newer and more sensitive analytical technologies and the emergence of low-infective dose pathogens, no food or food product can be considered risk-free. Combined with ever growing at-risk, populations and increased global trade, these emerging pathogens present a litany of challenges to consumers, food producers, food safety regulators and food microbiologists.

Learn about the issues and how they can only be mitigated through cooperative efforts. Understand why and what the farm-to-fork responsibilities each of us must adopt to help ensure that our food supply is safe. This webinar will address the complexity of defining safe food. We will look at the changing nature of foodborne/food transmitted pathogens, new and emerging analytical technologies and the influence of demographics and geography on the changing landscape. The webinar will also discuss roles and responsibilities for mitigating food contamination and foodborne illness from farm-to-fork.
