Reduction of foodborne hazards, including microbiological and others, with emphasis on emerging hazards

Tanzania has had two cases of foodborne hazards which had great consequences of the economy of the country and which we will wish to share with the other countries participating in this important world food safety forum. All the cases involved European Union (EU) ban on imports of fish, the Nileperch, harvested from Lake Victoria, which is jointly shared between Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. In this presentation, we shall point out how the precautionary approach applied by EU was resolved through the assistance of WHO and implementation of the food safety and quality interventions at all levels of the food chain in a very sustainable and ethical way.
