Event Information

Risk assessment uses an understanding of the pathways of foodborne illness across food systems—including on farms, during transportation, during processing, at the point of sale, and in the household—to create a roadmap for strengthening food safety practices and policies. They can help focus food safety resources on the physical, microbial, and chemical hazards that pose the greatest risk to human health and nutrition and are scalable, from high-level national priorities to the specific risks in a food business or value chain.

Please join us for the second webinar in a two-part series on risk-based approaches in food safety hosted by the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety. Researchers will share their experience applying risk-based approaches to reduce foodborne illness in Central America and Asia.
