'Human norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne disease. The retail food sector, including restaurants and catering establishments, is a common venue for these outbreaks. In this session, speakers will provide up-to-date information on norovirus outbreaks in restaurant settings and characteristics, policies, and practices that may increase or decrease the likelihood of an outbreak,' said Barbara VanRenterghem, Ph.D., Editorial Director Food Safety Magazine and moderator of the session. 'We look forward to hearing from our esteemed panelists who will provide the audience with the most up-to-date information available.'
Based on a recent study published by CDC, a brief scientific overview of these characteristics, policies, and practices will be provided. A regulatory representative will then discuss codified policies and procedures to control norovirus in restaurants, and an industry leader will describe how those are implemented in real life. There will be ample time for audience interaction with speakers, focusing on professional experiences with norovirus outbreaks and successes, failures, barriers, and considerations for future policies and practices that are grounded in science and achievable by the industry.
