Workshop Cork 09.03.2010 "Hygienic Processing"

Food safety is of fundamental importance to the European consumer, the food industry and the economy. The impact on trade and competitiveness is very substantial. Despite significant investment, the incidence of food derived diseases still increases in the EU.

The EU FP6 project „PathogenCombat“ attacks this
pan-European problem through a holistic, multidisciplinary approach towards threats from new/emerging pathogens in the entire food chain. The
impact in Europe of PathogenCombat with 44 Partners from 18 countries is bound to be very significant. Pathogen Combat will contribute strongly to improve the effectiveness and uniformity in reducing the prevalence of foodborne pathogens in European food.

Especially the hygiene throughout the whole food chain is of importance to prevent pathogens from entering or staying in our foods. This workshop aims
the hygiene of processing to ensure safe food within Europe.
