Abstract: Monitoring and surveillance system (MOSS) approaches form the backbone of infectious agent or disease detection in defined target populations, products or the environment. In the first part of this workshop, definitions as well as general principles of MOSS including objectives and sampling approaches will be introduced.
Risk-based meat safety assurance systems (RB-MSAS) is the new keyword in the European concept that describes all measures along the food (meat) chain from farm to slaughterhouse to ensure safe food. Within this framework, MOSS for foodborne hazards and diseases are relevant components for the collection of information on the occurrence of certain hazards.
After introducing the MOSS principles, the key components of RB-MSAS and the specific application of MOSS in the broiler production chain will be presented. Within interactive small group sessions, MOSS approaches for selected foodborne diseases in the participants countries will be identified and discussed.
