Dr. Manpreet Singh, Extension Food Safety Specialist and Professor in the Department of Poultry Science at the University of Georgia, will kick off this keynote session with his presentation entitled “Emerging Meat Processing Technologies for Microbiological Safety of Meat and Meat Products.” Dr. Singh will cover the challenges in pathogen control during meat processing and the potential for new and emerging technologies to enhance meat safety. Many technologies have been proven to be successful in a research setting. However, technology transfer to a larger scale warrants validation. Dr. Singh will discuss the advantages and shortcomings of such technologies and provide an overview of technologies that can be successfully implemented and streamlined in existing processing environments.
