JEMRA FAO/ WHO Secretariat
Roster of experts
JEMRA is tasked with the evaluation of different aspects of microbiological hazards in the food supply. This roster consists of scientific experts who have submitted applications in response to public calls for experts on Risk Assessment of Microbiological Hazards related to food safety. The applications were reviewed by the FAO and WHO Secretariats and by an external referee, and selections made on the basis of the criteria outlined in the call for experts. Scientists of the roster will be considered for future meetings of JEMRA according to expertise required for the respective meetings.
