FAO/WHO Expert Meeting on Foodborne Parasites – Multicriteria based ranking for risk management
This meeting was convened to respond to the request of the 42nd session of the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene to “review the current status of knowledge on parasites in food and their public health and trade impact in order to provide CCFH with advice and guidance on the parasite-commodity combinations of particular concern, issues that need to be addressed by risk managers and the options available to them.” To support their future risk management work in this area. FAO and WHO convened an Expert Meeting on Foodborne Parasites on 3 – 7 September 2012 at FAO Headquarters, Rome, Italy to respond to this request. The objectives of the meeting were as follows:
To develop a ranked list of foodborne parasites of global importance
To identify the foods of greatest concern for the most important foodborne parasites
To provide an overview of the risk management options and approaches available for the control of the most highly ranked foodborne parasites |
