A new monthly e-bulletin on food safety and quality is just a
click away. The Food Safety and Quality
Update provides valuable information on the latest
developments in the field, including new projects, upcoming
meetings and workshops, and recent reports and publications.
The provision of a safe and nutritious food
supply for all is of utmost importance to people in both
developed and developing countries. Food safety can only be
achieved if appropriate standards and regulations are applied
throughout the food production chain. Careful planning and the
joint efforts of both international organizations, including
FAO, and food experts around the world are essential. The
newsletter aims to promote better collaboration between these
players.
"The idea is to be
proactive," explains Ezzedine Boutrif, Senior Officer
in FAO's Food Quality and Standards Service, "and
draw attention to issues and documents that are important to
food safety professionals. We want to facilitate the retrieval
of such information and its use by those who are most
concerned."
Each month subscribers
receive an e-mail message containing the table of contents of
the full bulletin, available for download in PDF format from the
Web. While targeted to food safety experts, the newsletter is
available to anyone wishing to subscribe.
The updates are multilingual, with extracts in
English, French and Spanish, according to the language of the
report, project or publication featured. Links are provided to
useful Web sites for those readers seeking further information
on a given topic.
