Workshops on special issues in food microbiology and food safety
Workshops on special issues in food microbiology and food safety form part of the international scope of ICFMH. Workshops on Food Safety in Africa have been conducted in South Africa (2003 and 2007) and in Ghana (2014). Workshops on Traditional Fermented Foods were held in Burkina Faso, Denmark and France in 2009, 2010 and 2014, respectively. Within the IUMS Outreach Program, a Food Safety Workshop was held in Bali, Indonesia, in 2011.
ICFMH organized a microbial food safety workshop in Siem Reap, Cambodia from August 13-16, 2018. The main goal was to assist in improving the food safety standards in the Southeast Asian region towards local and global markets. Joining the workshop were twenty-nine participants from six Southeast Asian countries (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines and Vietnam).
