Since the first meeting in College Park, Maryland, in July 2002 organized by the Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (www.jifsan.umd.edu), there has been an explosion of activity in microbiological food safety risk assessment at national and international level, both by industry and government.
While there has been much activity in the field of microbial food safety risk assessment, apparently little uptake of the outputs of those risk assessments by regulators/food safety managers has occurred.
Conference Aims
This conference therefore, aims to:
1) identify how microbial food safety risk assessment can contribute to improvements in food safety management through
2) identifying when, and how, microbial food safety risk assessment has we been successfully used and
3) identifying impediments to adoption of microbial food safety risk assessment and how those impediments can be overcome.
Invitation
On behalf of the Australian Food Safety Centre of Excellence and Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology, we invite you to attend the 2nd International Conference on Microbial Risk Assessment: Foodborne Hazards and look forward to welcoming you to Sydney!
