Washington, DC, October 18, 2012 – The
American Meat Institute has published the
agenda for the Recalls and Public Health
Investigations program scheduled for Monday,
January 28, 2013 at the International Meat Expo
(IME) at the Georgia World Congress Center in
Atlanta, Georgia. IME is part of the

This program addresses the unique
challenges of recalls and public health
investigations. AMI has worked with experts
across the industry to develop a learning
experience tailored to meet those
challenges.
The program presents information on
industry topics such as understanding how a
public health investigation is conducted; the
investigation process and outcomes from the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Food
Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS);
developing a broader understanding of an
investigation; preparing responses to food
borne outbreak questions; preparing message
points for outside stakeholders; writing and
reviewing the company’s recall plan; asking
questions of officials during a food borne
outbreak; and engaging in mock recalls by
understanding benefits and being able to
provide better
suggestions.
Meat and poultry packer/processors,
senior management, recall coordinators,
technical services, operations management, and
quality assurance managers are all encouraged
to attend.
The confirmed speakers include Bradford
Clemens, food safety and quality assurance
manager, Clemens Food Group; David Goldman,
M.D., Office of Public Health Science-FSIS;
Robert Hibbert, partner, Morgan Lewis; and
