The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) convened an Expert Consultation on Risk Assessment of Microbiological Hazards in Foods in FAO Headquarters, Rome, Italy from 17-21 July 2000. This is due to greater consumer awareness of this issue and emerging risks and challenges in the area of food safety, one of which are microbiological hazards in foods. A number of factors have contributed to these new challenges including emerging and re-emerging pathogens, changes in methods of food production at the farm and processing level and changing consumer demands and consumption patterns. The expansion of international trade in food has also increased the risk of infectious agents being disseminated from the original point of production to locations thousands of miles away; therefore, there was a need to address this issue at the international level.
