This second meeting of the WHO Foodborne Disease Burden Epidemiology Reference Group (FERG) for 2021–2024 was convened virtually to continue discussion of the scope of work towards the overall WHO initiative to estimate the global burden of foodborne diseases. The overall aim of the second meeting of the FERG was to advance the development of the strategic workplan for the FERG (2021–2024) on the: 1) global estimation of the burden of foodborne diseases; 2) development and validation of global food safety indicators and targets; and 3) arrangements for country support for estimating the national burden of foodborne diseases.

Synopsis WHO Estimates of the Global Burden of Foodborne Diseases by : World Health Organization

The report presents the first global and regional estimates of the burden of foodborne diseases. The large disease burden from food highlights the importance of food safety, particularly in Africa, South-East Asia and other regions. Despite the data gaps and limitations of these initial estimates, it is apparent that the global burden of foodborne diseases is considerable, and affects individuals of all ages, particularly children

Synopsis WHO global strategy for food safety 2022-2030 by : World Health Organization

The new WHO Global Strategy for Food Safety 2022-2030 was adopted by the Seventy-fifth World Health Assembly in 2022. The updated strategy addresses current and emerging challenges, incorporates new technologies and includes innovative approaches for strengthening food safety systems. The target audience includes policy-makers (national and subnational governments), technical authorities/agencies responsible for food safety, academia, food business operators (FBOs) and private sectors, consumers, civil societies, UN agencies and WHO staff. This new document was prepared with support from the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on Food Safety: Safer food for better health. It reflects feedback received through consultation process with Member States and governmental institutions, United Nations agencies and other intergovernmental organizations, academia, NGOs, private sector entities, and individuals working in public health and food safety. The vision of the draft strategy is to ensure that all people, everywhere, consume safe and healthy food to reduce the burden of foodborne diseases. With five interlinked and mutually supportive strategic priorities, the draft strategy aims to build forward-looking, evidence-based, people-centred, and cost-effective food safety systems with coordinated governance and adequate infrastructures. This strategy contributes to the achievement of the SDGs and will be reviewed in 2030 when the world will reflect upon the progress made towards the SDGs.

Synopsis Assessment and Communication of Risk by : Eric Liberda

This is the long-awaited pocket text on risk assessment for students and professionals in all health and safety fields. Risk assessment and risk-based decision-making are essential skills in today’s health and safety fields, but a convenient pocket or desk reference has been needed with enough theory to begin a preliminary risk assessment, together with clear explanations, applications, and worked examples. This book addresses that need. It provides a practical resource for estimating risks in various applications, as well as assisting with the design of larger project-based assessments. It explains the two main numeric procedures: probabilistic, or “catastrophic”, and quantitative, or “chronic”, risk assessment, along with chapters on qualitative risk assessment and approaches to food-related risks. A final chapter examines how people perceive risk, and provides advice and assistance in the development of essential, effective risk communication with the public and with the media. Numerous case studies are analyzed. Assessment and Communication of Risk: A Pocket Text for Health and Safety Professionals is a one-stop resource for students in all health and safety fields, and provides a valuable guide for existing field practitioners in public health, occupational health and safety, hospitals, environmental assessment offices, and ministries of health, labour, and the environment.

Synopsis Foodborne Infections and Intoxications by : J. Glenn Morris Jr.

The accelerated globalization of the food supply, coupled with toughening government standards, is putting global food production, distribution, and retail industries under a high-intensity spotlight. High-publicity cases about foodborne illnesses over recent years have heightened public awareness of food safety issues, and momentum has been building to find new ways to detect and identify foodborne pathogens and eliminate food-related infections and intoxications. This extensively revised 4e covers how the incidence and impact of foodborne diseases is determined, foodborne intoxications with an introduction noting common features among these diseases and control measures that are applicable before and after the basic foodstuff is harvested. - Provides a summary of the

Synopsis Salmonella - Current Trends and Perspectives in Detection and Control by : Chenxi Huang

Over the past few decades, Salmonella has been one of four key global causes of diarrheal diseases and the major cause of foodborne pathogens that could lead to salmonellosis globally. Thereby, a comprehensive overview of recent trends in Salmonella is of great importance for its accurate detection and precise control under different conditions. This book provides an insightful overview of Salmonella, starting from the mechanism of Salmonella transmission, infection, and antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, it also presents new insights into Salmonella prevention and control strategies such as novel antimicrobial agents and methods. The final section discusses novel Salmonella detection and identification technologies, highlighting ongoing issues, recent advances, and future directions in Salmonella diagnostic approaches and prevention strategies.
