Diving deeper into the ICMSF approach to microbiological food safety management now and in the future

The Latin American Subcommission (LAS) of the ICMSF webinar provided attendees with virtual life presentations by ICMSF speakers on current and future food safety management approaches, pre-recorded video clips on key ICMSF concepts, and interactive panel sessions at which attendees can raise questions and debate the utility of sampling and testing in food safety control (e.g. by government) and management (e.g. by industry).

Day 1

• Utility of microbiological sampling and testing
• Developments in risk-based food safety management

Day 2

• Microbiological criteria and underlying statistics
• Application of sampling and testing principles applied to different commodities

Day 3

• Opportunities and challenges to current and future risk-based food safety management – “where is the world going?”
• Utility of Microbiological Criteria and useful testing approaches for regulatory and supply chain purposes – “what goes well, what could go better”?
