Veterinarians play an important role in recognizing and mitigating microbial foodborne illness hazards in the preharvest setting. Representatives of industry associations, veterinary associations, state and federal agencies, and other allied entities have worked together to create a new online veterinary training module for the USDA-APHIS National Veterinary Accreditation Program (NVAP), The Veterinarian’s Role in Microbial Preharvest Food Safety.
Key topics in the module include: preharvest microbial food safety hazards; investigating foodborne outbreaks; and model practices for preharvest food safety for swine, beef, dairy products, poultry, and eggs and egg products.
