2014 - Bioterrorism and Food Security-A Cultural Conundrum

DESCRIPTION
Intentional contamination or adulteration of food is a reality. We will review some examples of the dire consequences of adulteration ostensibly for economic gain This webinar will also discuss the potential threats of using food as biological weapon and the actions food companies can take to mitigate and minimize the risks of food bioterrorism.
Why you should attend :
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. Learn how to enhance food safety production programs to thwart intentional food contamination and the risk of food bioterrorism.
