چکیده
Recognizing this, the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), the 28,000-member nonprofit society for food science and technology, convened a panel of internationally renowned experts to review the science related to emerging microbiological food safety issues and implications for their control and to produce a comprehensive, scientific report. IFT’s objective for this Expert Report is to increase the understanding—among IFT members, senior policy officials, and other interested groups—of the scientific information on emerging foodborne pathogens (from a broad ecological perspective) relative to public policy issues and strategies for preventing foodborne illness.
