Reduction of food-borne hazards, including microbiological and other with emphasis on emerging hazards

As Designated National Authority on Food Safety of Liberia, our aim is to increase public awareness of the risks of food poisoning and the preventive measures that can be taking throughout the food chain And also to protect the health of people consuming Liberian food at home or abroad whilst helping to maintain and enhance the reputation of its food related industries. Our constraint is the lack of Food Analytical Laboratory in Liberia for food quality control due to the war. Food saf ety and the protection of the health of consumers have become international issues, forcing most developed countries to exam how they ensure the safety of their food supply. As we gathered in this workshop we would like to state here that our role to integrated approaches to the management of food safety throughout the food chain is to: Educate consumers and communicate risks, Convince industry that it owes the responsibility to produce and provide safe food. Develop an effective inspection service from farm to fork. Get every food business to recognize the importance of food safety and to make it our integral part of their business.
