Partnership brings together best in food safety standards
China's Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment is to work with the US Pharmacopeial Convention, a global health organization that sets standards for medicines and food ingredients, on developing lab-based training courses for food safety.
The courses will become part of the World Bank's Global Food Safety Partnership, an initiative dedicated to improving the safety of food in middle-income and developing countries by promoting a globally-coordinated and locally-driven food safety approach through effective international collaboration on food safety.
"The training courses will cover a series of subjects such as microbiology and physicochemical knowledge, and will be developed for worldwide use," says Chen Junshi, chief adviser at CFSA, who is also a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
