Event Information

Contaminated foods are estimated to sicken 600 million people a year, contributing to malnutrition and stunting in children, increasing food insecurity, and creating barriers to entry into the global food trade. A perennial challenge in food safety is identifying where to begin: Which pathogens, value chains, food system infrastructure, and food handling practices present the greatest risk to human health and nutrition? In recent years, risk-based approaches have emerged as strategic tools for setting priorities for food safety research, policy, and interventions. These proactive, data-driven methods help governments, private businesses, NGOs, and other stakeholders create a roadmap for reducing foodborne illness. 

Please join the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety for a two-part webinar series on risk-based approaches to food safety. The first webinar will provide an introduction to using risk-based methods in food safety.
