Farming and food ministries, and other national bodies, need to cooperate
more closely to make food safer, say the World 91É«ÇéƬ Organization and the UN’s
Food and Agriculture Organization in a joint statement this week. At their first
pan-European conference on food safety, in Budapest, the agencies warned that
food-borne illness is rising in Europe, and called for international risk
assessments of the bacteria Listeria in convenience food,
Campylobacter and Salmonella in poultry, and Vibrio in
seafood.
