		Priority Setting of Foodborne and Zoonotic Pathogens
		The conference is intended to address broad issues relevant across all infectious foodborne agents in all foods, thus including exposure to bacteria and bacterial toxins, viruses, parasites, and prions through the consumption of meat, eggs, dairy, seafood, and produce. The conference will address the scientific and technical issues with risk-based prioritization, and will thus focus on methods and data. The conference is also intended to raise awareness of the process of risk-based priority setting for food safety, with the explicit aim to explore the international differences in approaches and identify possible opportunities for future collaboration.

		EFSA provides update on avian influenza and food safety
		The presence of H5N1 avian influenza in parts of continental Europe has raised public concern with respect to the safety of poultry products and eggs for human consumption. The European Food Safety Authority advises that there is no evidence to suggest to date that avian influenza can be transmitted to humans through consumption of food, notably poultry and eggs. The European Food Safety Authority further confirms that there should be no change to longstanding food safety advice that poultry products be properly cooked in order to protect consumers from possible risks of food poisoning.

		Ensayo rápido de salmonella podrá reducir las retiradas de carne y productos frescos
		Un ensayo innovador para detectar salmonella en las carnes listas para comer ha sido desarrollado por científicos del Servicio de Investigación Agrícola (ARS). El ensayo preliminar – todavía siendo evaluado por investigadores de la agencia – depende de la tecnología de la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR por sus siglas en inglés) para detectar en un nivel molecular los microbios que contaminan la comida.

		New Detection Methods Improve Food Safety
		Regulatory agencies and the food industry need fast, automated, cost-effective analytical methods that are accurate, reliable, and safe and that minimize waste. Several of the research unit's chemists are using advanced technologies to develop methods to screen, detect, and confirm multiple chemical residues—such as veterinary drugs and pesticides—and pathogenic bacteria and their toxins in food products.

		Plantando saúde: resolução estabelece normas de higiene para alimentos e bebidas à base de vegetais
		Barracas, trailers e quiosques invadiram as praças, ruas e viadutos das cidades nos últimos anos, chegando também às praias e rodovias. Nesses lugares se compra e vende de tudo: canetas, eletrônicos, roupas, lanches rápidos. A Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa), preocupada com a saúde da população que consome alimentos nesses estabelecimentos, publicou, no dia 29 de julho de 2005, o primeiro regulamento nacional para bebidas e alimentos à base de vegetais. A resolução RDC 218 define procedimentos de boas práticas e estende a legislação sanitária a essas instalações informais, as quais colocam em risco a saúde do consumidor por não respeitarem normas simples de higiene.

		Boletín INFOPANALIMENTOS
		We are launching today the activities of the bulletin INFOPANALIMENTOS. We return after several months of inactivity due to processes of re-organization of the technical cooperation in `food safety` in PAHO. In which the most relevant fact was the closing of the Pan American Institute of `Food Safety` (INPPAZ) by the Governing Bodies of PAHO (http: /www.paho.org/english/gov/CD/CD46.r6-e.pdf) in September of 2005. The activities of INPPAZ now are carried out from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the Technical Group in `Food Safety`, has its headquarters in the premises of the Pan American Foot-and-Mouth Disease Center. With INFOPANALIMENTOS we revisit one of our principal tasks: maintain users up-to-date with relevant news in `food safety` that in addition take the added value of technical opinion from prominent professionals throughout the Americas. INFOPANALIMENTOS will have its conventional sections of legislation, diagnosis both clinical and food analysis, epidemiological of food borne diseases, surveillance, management of food protection programs and education and communication. It will furthermore have the section of multimedia with audio and video files. The user in addition can make its observations, making possible the daily improvement of the bulletin. Volvemos a partir de hoy a retomar las actividades del boletín INFOPANALIMENTOS. Regresamos después de varios meses de inactividad debida a procesos de re-organización en la cooperación técnica en inocuidad de alimentos de la OPS. En la cual destaca el cierre del Instituto Panamericano de Inocuidad de Alimentos (INPPAZ) por los Cuerpos Directivos de la OPS (http://www.paho.org/english/gov/cd/CD46.r6-e.pdf) en septiembre del 2005. Las actividades del INPPAZ se realizan ahora desde Río de Janeiro, Brasil, en donde el Grupo Técnico en Inocuidad de Alimentos, tiene su sede en las instalaciones del Centro Panamericano de Fiebre Aftosa. Con INFOPANALIMENTOS retomamos una de nuestras principales tareas: mantener a los usuarios informados con noticias relevantes en inocuidad de alimentos que además llevan el valor agregado de los comentarios técnicos de profesionales destacados a lo largo de las Américas. INFOPANALIMENTOS tendrá sus acostumbradas secciones de legislación, diagnóstico tanto clínico como bromatológico, vigilancia epidemiológica, gestión de programas de control de alimentos y educación y comunicación. Además tendrá la sección de multimedia con archivos de audio y video. El usuario además podrá hacer sus comentarios, posibilitando la mejora diaria del boletín.
