FQN Food Outbreak roundtable TODAY!
FQN to host roundtable on foodborne outbreaks
Join us as with experts from the European Association for Food Safety, SAFE consortium, EFSA, FDA and University of Wisconsin-River Falls we try and answer the question: What’s the best way to minimize risk of exposure from foodborne illness outbreaks?
The event, at 9:30am New York time, 3:30pm Paris time, will last for one hour and through the platform you will have the opportunity, and be encouraged, to ask our panellists questions.
Purnendu C. Vasavada, professor emeritus of Food Science at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and Kathleen F. Gensheimer, chief medical officer, director Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation (CORE) FDA/Office of Foods and Veterinary Medicine will form half of the panel.
The other experts are Dr Frank Boelaert senior officer, Biological Hazards and Contaminants Unit at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and Dr Katherine Flynn, scientific secretary at The European Association for Food Safety, SAFE consortium.
All that is needed on your part is to follow this link and register for free to hear the news and views. If you can't make today, do not panic, you can listen on demand to the forum for three months.
Speakers will drill down into determining what a safety manager’s top priorities should be, tools that can provide a layer of protection, important regulatory developments, crucial first steps in the event of an outbreak and how has reaction to foodborne outbreaks changed over the years and what does the future hold?
You can also follow our Twitter coverage of the event, sponsored by Shimadzu and Imtech Steri, using the hashtag #foodoutbreak14.
Look forward to hearing from you on the day!
