Description

National representative of the International Committee on Food Microbiology and Hygiene (ICFMH) of the IUMS

The International Committee on Food Microbiology and Hygiene was founded at the World Congress on Microbiology of the IAMS (International Association of Microbiology – later the International Union of Microbiological Societies” or IUMS) in Rome, in 1953. The ICFMH officially represents IUMS in all issues related to food, and has observer and/or advisory status in activities of FAO and WHO (e.g. Codex Alimentarius), ISO working groups related to the detection and enumeration of microorganisms in food commodities, etc. As a result of new challenges, and changes within the international family of microbiological societies, the ICFMH gradually grew into an organisation with international activities in the field of Food Microbiology.
