Crafting a Public Health Agenda for Modern Food-Safety Systems: An International Meeting of Consumer NGOs, Geneva, Switzerland, 8-10 June 2005
In collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the first formal discussion among consumer organizations/public health non-governmental organizations about strengthening national food safety programmes is to be held at WHO. The conference will share concerns about food safety and develop consensus guidelines for monitoring and improving national food safety programmes that will enable consumer and public health NGOs from rich, poor and emerging economies to evaluate and advocate strengthened national food safety programmes; to recommend a comprehensive, cohesive, and standardized course of action that addresses the threat to human health posed by deliberate and unintentional forms of food contamination.
