International Food Risk Analysis

Current food processors are vigorously challenged to reduce health risks associated with food to minimum or zero levels. Can we reduce the probability and consequences of something going wrong during manufacture and distribution of our products? What is the risk associated with a particular new product, or process, or market?

These are some of the questions that food processors must answer on a regular basis.  

International Food Risk Analysis is designed to help food industry personnel better understand how to assess, manage, and communicate risks associated with foods
 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
• Small to large scale manufacturers, suppliers and retailers who must deal with risk.

• In particular, production and quality assurance personnel and retail supervisors who require a deeper understanding of the principles of risk assessment, risk management and risk communication.
