No results found.Approximately 30% of foodborne illnesses globally are caused by parasitic infections. FAO is seeking to provide updated scientific advice on the detection, prevention, inactivation, and other methods of control of foodborne parasitic hazards that present a public health risk. To achieve this goal, FAO has planned a series of expert consultations on the topic. The first meeting, to focus on protozoal foodborne parasites, is scheduled for 26-30 May, 2025. The second meeting which will address cestodes, nematodes and trematodes will be held at a later time, possible in the fourth quarter of 2025. -

Book (stand-alone)HandbookRisk Communication Applied to Food Safety Handbook 2016Recent global, regional and national food-borne disease outbreaks and/or large food recalls have had adverse impacts on consumer confidence in the safety of the food supply and agri-food production and trade (3). Post-event analysis of such events has indicated the importance of more effective use of risk communication principles and practices. Countries are encouraged to develop and assess their existing risk communication plans and practices applied to food safety and to learn from their own or other countries’ experiences. As the use of the Internet and social media technologies increases both in developed and developing countries, the public’s demand for greater transparency and more salient food safety risk information can be expected, confirming the importance of effective risk communication strategies in food safety and the broader public health sector. The purpose of this Handbook is to support countries, national food safety authorities and food chain stakeholders in establishing or enhancing risk communication practice and capacity in the food safety sector. This Handbook focuses on practical principles and best practices of risk communication to support risk management of adverse food safety (including quality) events associated with biological, chemical or physical hazards. The focus of this Handbook is on the use of risk communication in the process of risk analysis to manage both emergency food safety risks (e.g. foodborne illness outbreaks) and non-emergency or more enduring food safety issues (e.g. food safety and health promotion campaigns). The Handbook begins with a broad overview of the key goals and concepts of risk communication.
