Managing Food Safety Practices from Farm to Table

September 9, 2008

The National Academies Lecture Room

2100 C Street, NW

Washington, DC

Please join the Institute of Medicine’s Food Forum in a 1-day workshop 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 workshop will serve as a forum for experts on various disciplines to discuss approaches, technologies, and institutional strategies to mange 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?

A preliminary agenda can be found below. Registration for this event will be posted to this site shortly.
