Risk assessment of viruses in food

This report draws attention to the threat of viruses as a risk to public health when they are present in food. Moreover currently used control measures either have not been standardized and there is not a good understanding of their efficacy towards viruses, or are not effective in controlling virus contamination. Data from recent studies have shown that foodborne viral infections are very common in many parts of the world despite the measures already in place to reduce bacterial contamination.SK; sk; efsa.focalpoint@land.gov.s
