Abstract

Food safety is an emerging public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, including Vietnam. Foodborne disease may result from biological, chemical or physical hazards and has a range of health consequences from minor to severe or even fatal. While evidence is improving on the burden of foodborne disease less information risk-targeting in value chains or the best options for managing risk. The International Livestock Research Institution and partners have been working for several years in pork value chains in Vietnam and during that time, emphasis has shifted from risk assessment to risk management and risk communication.
