Objective

Dubai International Food Safety Conference is an annual meeting of food safety professionals from different parts of the world and is one of its kind in the region. Each year, the conference addresses a variety of issues that affect food safety and facilitates mutual cooperation among regulatory agencies and the food industry. Needless to say, strong relations and dialogues between national and international counterparts built during the conference have helped us in strengthening and facilitating existing mutual cooperation with national and international jurisdictions in scientific and regulatory areas and reducing risks associated with food supply.

Each year, the overall focus of the conference program addresses issues affecting the industry that result from a wide range of events including regulatory changes, international policy implementations, foodborne illness outbreaks, and recalls. The Sixth Dubai International Food Safety Conference will focus on the issues facing the emerging economies in the management of food safety. The conference will provide the delegates a global view on how countries respond to these challenges with special emphasis on emerging economies and look at answering questions such as:

1. How are governments, producers, and consumers meeting the evolving food safety challenge?
2. What kinds of development cooperation can best support these countries in achieving and managing food safety objectives?
3. How can we ensure reliability and sustainability of food safety programs?
4. What kinds of collaborative research are needed to resolve outstanding issues?
5. How can the food industry work across the globe and still continue to ensure safety of their food?
