Webinar on Food Security and Fraud-Are You Ready

Webinar on Food Security and Fraud-Are You Ready is organized by Global Wizdom (GW) and will be held on Apr 29, 2020.

Overview:
Microbiological issues of food safety have historically been considered the result of inadvertent contamination. Intentional contamination or adulteration of food is, however, also a reality. Traditional HACCP programs are designed to enhance food safety by addressing the risk of inadvertent contamination of food during production and processing. Mitigating the intentional contamination of food requires an approach beyond HACCP. Thwarting food bioterrorism is critical to minimizing not only the health risk but also the economic risk. Beyond the illness that can occur as a result of the intentional contamination of food, the economic impact on brand name and product type can also be significant.

Key Take Away:
Mitigating the risks of food contamination, adulteration and fraud require similar but different intervention strategies. Understand the risks and opportunities and be prepared.

Areas Covered in the Session:
•  Underlying causes of microbial foodborne illness
•  Inadvertent vs. intentional contamination of food
•  Threats and realities of using food as a biological weapon
•  Managing the risks of food fraud
•  Food Safety Modernization Act
