MinutesOfThe1stMeetingInApril2018OfTheBfRCommissionBiologicalHazardsAndHygienePublished

The Commission on Biological Hazards and Hygiene advises the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) as a voluntary and independent expert body in identifying hazards that result in foodborne infections and intoxications.
A particular focus is on questions about the occurrence and assessment of pathogens and their toxins along the food chain.

The following work topics have been selected as relevant:

• Irrigation of crops with treated wastewater
• Revision of the BfR consumer tips on cleaning and disinfection

Additionally, the following should be monitored and possibly reassessed for relevance at a later date:

• Human pathogens (STEC, Salmonella) in flour
• Transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria through food

The results of the commission are published at the BfR. The complete minutes are available at www.bfr.bund.de.

Our customer advisors are pleased to assist you with any questions.
