Food Moves!
Food Safety During Importation and Distribution
Tennessee Food Safety Task Force Annual Seminar
JUNE 2, 2016
Sheraton Music City Hotel
Nashville, TN
We know that food moves further and faster than ever creating challenges for food safety professionals. Representatives from regulatory agencies, academia, and food industries took some time in June to discussion the rapid movement of food through importation and distribution. More than 120 attendees listened to discussions of outbreaks related to imported foods, methods for tracing contamination through the global supply chain, and perspectives from importers, distributors and retailers. The program highlighted below has links to presentations which we were allowed to post. We hope you will join our distribution list so you can learn about upcoming educational opportunities from the Tennessee Food Safety Task Force by emailing Faith Critzer, faithc@utk.edu.
