2019 International Association for Food Protection Conference

International Association for Food Protection Conference (IAFP) is a leading food safety conference around the world. Each year, an annual meeting is hosted by IAFP in North America with over 3000 attendees from universities, industry and government agencies. The conference provides a great opportunity to learn about food safety from different perspectives as well as network with food safety professionals.
This year, the IAFP conference was held in Louisville, Kentucky. Dr. Yaohua Feng, Han Chen, Tressie Barrett and Emily Chuang attended the IAFP conference from July 21 through July 24, 2019. Han, Tressie and Emily presented their posters in the conference on July 22.
