International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods
Autor von "Microorganisms in Foods 7" .
The ICMSF functions as a small "working group", not a forum for the reading of papers or political debate. We are an action-oriented group with a history of evaluating issues and making timely contributions on newly emerging food safety concerns. The Commission has performed in-depth studies on all essential aspects relating to microbiological specifications for foods such as: methods of analysis, sampling plans, and microbiological limits. In recent years, the Commission has worked to improve the microbiological safety of food through its books and other scientific publications, by participating in symposia and workshops, recommending sampling plans and microbiological criteria, and defining and promoting the use of GHP, HACCP and other systems of managing food safety.
Members, as well as consultants, are selected based on their technical expertise, not as national delegates. All work is voluntary and without honoraria.
